Inspired by the many lists of things that evil overlords would do well to remember, this collection of short stories gathers luminaries from FSF, and runs the gamut from light and amusing (Dean Wesley Smith’s “Life & Death of Fortune Cookie Tyrant”) to the creative (Nina Kiriki Hoffman’s “Art Therapy”). The would-be evil overlords are predominantly terrestrial, but Hoffman’s has been remanded to overlord rehab (for overlords who have lost their edge) and Donald J Bingle (“Loser Takes All”) writes about the would-be overlord of a virtual war game.
Like most anthologies, I didn’t enjoy all the entries, but most of them appealed, and I really liked the premise. - Alex
