A major fiction collection from multiple Hugo Award winner David Langford, Different Kinds of Darkness complements his parody assortment He Do the Time Police in Different Voices. Besides the acclaimed, Hugo-winning title piece and its influential prequels, the 36 stories include the British SF Association Award winner "Cube Root", and eight "Year's Best" and "Best Of" anthology choices. SF, fantasy, horror, and unclassifiable Langford weirdness ranging from 1975 to 2003.
This is a short (and I mean short - finished it in about 30 min) story about a school in the future and a group of children that form a club based upon an artifact that they discover in a copy machine. It reads like a mystery with elements of terrorism (the world they live in is fraught with terrorists) and discovery (what is the significance of the artifact). Overall a good read and I felt it was worth the money.
