"Why is it that, in such a vast cosmos, with hundreds of billions of stars in this galaxy alone, and no doubt billions of Earth-like planets orbiting them, we have found no evident of intelligent alien life? No evidence that alien have ever visited Earth (other than discredited UFO mythology), no detectable signals...? The stories in this anthology offer intriguing explanations for this enigma, looking seriously or comically at solutions..."--P.[4] of cover.

Review of 'Is anybody out there?' on 'Goodreads'

A bit of a mixed bag, but all pretty good. Very little hard/classic SF here, it's pretty much all that squishy psychological stuff. But some good metaphors for the human condition, memorable scenes, and enough references to the actual Fermi Paradox that it does feel like a real collection.
