Story
On September 15, 1946, the Wild Card virus was released, spreading a wave of mutations around the globe. "Aces" were endowed with extraordinary powers while "Jokers" were cursed with bizarre mental or physical disabilities. September 15th is now Wild Card Day. With each passing year, the festivities become larger and more fevered. And 1986 - the 40th anniversary - promises to be the biggest Wild Card Day ever.

interesting but all over the place
overall interesting world, but I found it hard since they are a bunch of different stories so it felt a little jarring to keep track of the new characters and stories just as you got use to the previous chapter.
narrator had a old news broadcaster feel to his story telling

Mutants In Real Life
Good story for the first 3 quarters of the book. It felt like they saved the best writing in the beginning and got worse after each short story. I'm glad that they gave me strong writers and I'm disappointed that they could not keep my attention till the end
