Future Weapons of War

Future Weapons of War is an anthology of twelve stories by various authors about various future weapons. Some of these weapons have been anthropormorphosized, and have become characters of their own with the ability to think and react to the situation. Some of the stories are so futuristic that it was hard for me to totally get involved in the story before the story is over. Those stories that you can get involved with can be disturbing in the concepts behind the story and the ethics of how the weapon was used. This anthology reminds me of the anthology series There Will Be War by Jerry Pournelle which dealt with similar themes. Of course if there is war, there will be weapons. God help us all.
