From Hugo Award-Winning Editor Neil Clarke, the Best Science Fiction
Stories of the Year Collected in a Single Paperback Volume
Keeping up-to-date with the most buzzworthy and cutting-edge science
fiction requires sifting through countless magazines, e-zines, websites,
blogs, original anthologies, single-author collections, and more--a task
that can be accomplished by only the most determined and voracious
readers. For everyone else, Night Shade Books is proud to present the
latest volume of The Best Science Fiction of the Year, a yearly
anthology compiled by Hugo and World Fantasy Award-winning editor Neil
Clarke, collecting the finest that the genre has to offer, from the
biggest names in the field to the most exciting new writers.
The best science fiction scrutinizes our culture and politics, examines
the limits of the human condition, and zooms across galaxies at
faster-than-light speeds, moving from the very near future to the
far-flung worlds of tomorrow in the space of a single sentence. Clarke,
publisher and editor-in-chief of the acclaimed and award-winning
magazine Clarkesworld, has selected the short science fiction (and
only science fiction) best representing the previous year's writing,
showcasing the talent, variety, and awesome "sensawunda" that the genre
has to offer.
