Last Dangerous Visions has dropped.

Published yesterday. I've downloaded it to my Kindle (now there's a
line that would have been thoroughly SF when the first anthology
was published), but have not read it yet.

James, will you be reviewing this?

If someone pays me to, and only after I tackle the first two.

I will scream whilst I still have a mouth, (tick tock tick tock), that
as the stories have not been previously published, then the older ones
are likely to have been not judged worthy.

There's a very interesting summary here of stories that
could/would/should have been, as well as what is actually in:

... One can see there's nothing dangerous to the establishment
at all about Last Dangerous Visions. It's much like seeing
a Rage Against The Machine tour sponsored by Capital One. ...

... A real successor, Forbidden Thoughts, came out in 2017
featuring authors one might consider dangerous to mainstream
publications Milo Yiannopoulos, Nick Cole, Larry Correia,
Vox Day, and more. If Straczynski had truly wanted to follow
Harlan Ellison's rebellious legacy, he would have included
at least one writer of dissenting opinion. But in 2024, no
real dangerous visions are allowed in publishing. It seems
1984 has become reality. ....

I found the original to be ... what a sane person would expect:
nothing really daring, just people who thought they were.

DV is up for review by the end of November. Don't think I've read it
since Joe Clark was PM. Pretty sure my memories of DV are mixed up
with A,DV.

Don't forget to notice the obligatory anti-religion story.

Which, since it was expected, and quite ordinary, cannot have been
daring.

The same could be said of the obligatory stories with sex in them.
What can one say to such things, except "Ah, Salieri!" while yawning.

This could simply be a matter of timing: that is, at least some of the
stories could have been daring but, by the time it was published, had
become, if not common, at least not rare.
