À propos de cet audio

From Hugo Award-winning editor Neil Clarke, the best science fiction stories of the year are collected in a single 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 accomplishable by only the most determined and voracious readers. For everyone else, Night Shade Books is proud to introduce 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.

Average Anthology

Some great tales, many mediocre, a couple of terribly written and performed. A typical anthology.

how is this "the best"?

A lacklustre collection of half baked dreams. I have a definition of Science Fiction in my mind. Only the first story came close to that. I didn't listen to the entire collection. Less than half in fact but that was plenty. Those that I listened to were just weak and disappointing. Apparently the category has changed a lot since I became a fan 60 years ago. I can't imagine what criteria were used to select these so called "SF" stories. Perhaps there are some real sci-fi stories in here but I have no wish to plod through the dross to find them.
This is a big problem with "Best" lists these days. Best for whom? Clearly not me!
