The biggest and best anthology of great short sf is back, and what a treat it is! Award-winning editor Gardner Dozois gives us a formidable collection of stories by today's bright new stars and celebrated masters, embracing a stunning array of cutting-edge ideas, classic themes, and exotic settings.
Imagine…
• a world where a causal anomaly has wiped out every male organism
• a near-future Earth where everything runs on kinetic energy and “calorie companies” bio-engineer all the food
• a spacefarer's worst nightmare—an accident that takes you so far from home it could drive you insane
• a drug that wipes out your identity, leaving room for a new “I” to form
• a glitch in the time continuum, forcing people to relocate to another historical era
• a history where America is a satellite state of China, and “Vinlanders” are second-class citizens who work on the orbital elevator
• an appropriate Christmas present to give in a Chrislamic society
• a product-tracking technology with much wider, and scarier, applications
Selected from the genre's top magazines, including Analog, Asimov's Science Fiction, Interzone, and The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, as well as short fiction collections and electronic venues, here are 30 awesome, poignant, sometimes funny and often chilling new visions of science and technology, future society, alien worlds and space exploration—stories that boldly point the way for science fiction in the 21st century. Includes an extensive list of Honorable Mentions and the annual Year in Review. Jacket art by Stephan Martiniere. (Approx. 672 pp.) 2006.
