"This volume showcases the nuanced, playful, ever-expanding
definitions of the genre and celebrates its current renaissance."
--Washington Post
Science fiction and fantasy can encompass so much, from far-future
deep-space sagas to quiet contemporary tales to unreal kingdoms and
beasts. But what the best of these stories do is the same across the
genres--they illuminate the whole gamut of the human experience,
interrogating our hopes and our fears. With a diverse selection of
stories chosen by series editor John Joseph Adams and guest editor
Charles Yu, The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2017
continues to explore the ever-expanding and changing world of SFF today,
with Yu bringing his unique view--literary, meta, and adventurous--to
the series' third edition.
