By John Kwok This is a very good collection of short stories by writers - virtually all Swedish, with one or two nationals from other countries residing in Sweden plus several Swedish expatriates - that surprisingly doesn't seem to be all too cognizant of some current trends in Anglo-American speculative fiction, most notably the "New Weird" speculative fiction coined by Jeff VanderMeer that has had, among its most notable practitioners, the likes of himself, China Miéville, and, more recently, David Mitchell ("The Bone Clocks", "Slade House"). One of the strongest tales is the very first, "Melody of the Yellow Bard" in which the writer, Hans Olsson, melds his life-long interest in music with physics into a rather unexpected, at times, disturbing, first contact/end of the world tale that bears some resemblances with the "New Weird". Another highlight is Erik Odelhal's "Getting to the End", in which the character's obsession with a tape recorder may remind some of a brief sketch of a China Miéville, except from Miéville, the result would be far more mysterious and unsettling. Despite the title of the short story collection, "Waiting for the Machines to Fall Asleep", readers shouldn't expect anything that could be viewed as much post-cyberpunk, as, for example, Lauren Beukes' brilliant debut novel "Moxyland"; instead, the stories tend to be more hard science fiction in their orientation, like My Bergstrom's psychologically driven interplanetary war space opera tale "Mission Accomplished". Anyone whose literary tastes tend toward traditional hard science fiction should find much to rejoice in this short story collection, but hopefully these very good tales are not indicative of current speculative fictional trends in Swedish fiction.

Note: I received a paperback copy of this book by the editor in exchange for an honest review.I absolutely enjoyed all the stories in this book (for individual ratings see below.) This book is so much more than just an anthology. It was an experience. So many different stories, so many unique concepts and such amazing writing styles - this book has everything to be a brilliant read.There were some stories that literally made me feel dreadful thinking about what might have happened (Lost And Found) and there were stories that made me smile (To Preserve Humankind.) There were stories that really worked me out in anticipation (Outpost Eleven) and stories that I thought were funny (Jump To The Left, Jump To The Right.) Never have I ever enjoyed a single book so much.I'm going to be looking out for more works from the authors I enjoyed the most. I'm really happy that I am lucky enough to have read this book. I'll recommend this book not only to Sci-Fi fans but to anyone and everyone who wants to read some beautifully crafted stories.I really hope that they decide to release this book internationally, so that everyone in the world can read this book.Following are the individual ratings for all the stories:Melody Of The Yellow Bard: 5/5The Rats: 5/5Getting To The End: 5/5Vegatropolis - City Of The Beautiful: 4/5Jump To The Left, Jump To The Right: 5/5The Order Of Things: 5/5To Preserve Humankind: 5/5The Thirteenth Tower: 4/5Punchcard Horses: 3/5The Philosopher's Stone: 5/5A Sense Of Foul Play: 5/5Waste Of Time: 5/5The Damien Factor: 5/5Wishmaster: 5/5Quadrillennium: 3/5Mission Accomplished: 5/5The Road: 4/5Lost And Found: 5/5The Publisher's Reader: 3/5Stories From The Box: 4/5The Membranes In The Centering Horn: 5/5One Last Kiss Goodbye: 5/5The Mirror Talks: 5/5Keep Fighting Until The Machines Fall Asleep: 5/5Outpost Eleven: 5/5Messiah: 3/5You can also read this review at The Reading Bud.

Tant Note - I was provided a copy of this book for review purposes.First, I have to say...for the lay reader (like me), there's a certain hipster-niche in the phrase "Swedish Science Fiction." And if that dissuades anyone from looking at this anthology, then that's a shame. This is a darned fine collection of thought provoking short stories...starting off very strongly with Melody of the Yellow Bard and a solid followup with The Rats. I think my favorite is the semi-titular "Keep Fighting Until the Machines Fall Asleep," which neatly incorporates themes of humanity and automation. Quite a few of these stories have twist endings, and more than a few are dystopian (some more than others), but all of them are very interesting reads.It also bears mentioning that the text and editing of this anthology are first-rate.This is an enjoyable volume of hard-core sci fi. I really enjoyed reading it.
