Second Set of Short Stories

So I didn't care for this set of short stories as much as I did the last set.

"Laws of Survival" was just weird. I still can't seem to grasp why aliens would travel so far and not be able to properly communicate with humans (or the dogs if that's who they wanted). It seemed completely unrealistic to me.

"Craters" was depressing,but it was interesting to see how technology can cause problems in the future rather than making solving them.

"Roxie" was kind of boring to me. It was very plausible, but I just didn't care that much for it.

"Stray" was cool but confused me a little. I still don't understand fully what Ivan was. Was he an alien, an advance human, a god ? I kind of assume alien, but I'm not sure if it actually says or even really implies that anywhere in the story.

I actually liked "The Mists of Time". It's cool to see future tech being used to visit the past. Plus, I loved the science references to things like Schrodinger's cat.
