I first read the novella True Names back in 1984, and siezed upon it to reread for the 1980s reading challenge. To my chagrin, the 80s book of choice was this one, published in 1987. Unfortunately, I misplaced my copy of this. Fortunately, all of the stories in it are also contained in The Collected Stories of Vernor Vinge, which I do have. But I digress.
True Names is still the standout story here, though all were 4 star quality. My second favorite was the very short Long Shot. I recommend this collection and look forward to reading more from Vernor Vinge and Joan D. Vinge as well.
