Farewell to Yesterday’s Tomorrow by Alexei Panshin

Sci Fi short stories by Alexei Panshin range from off color humor to self-indulged what-if stories. I really liked the book. Several of the short stories deal with a selection of colonized planets and their generation ship custodians.

Oddly enough, the book contains a note, in which Panshin declares this his last single author book. The rest (after 1974) would be written with his wife, Cory. The title essay, Farewell to Yesterday’s Tomorrow, deals with SciFi post cold war before the cold war ended but after people began to realize nuclear war wasn’t inevitable.

The stories were smart and entertaining.
