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.

Title:
Review: I found this book to contain a few real gems, many average/good stories and a few stinkers. Some of the ones I did not like so much were translations and maybe I do not have the cultural background to fully understand where the author was coming from and some seemed to peter out instead of coming to a conclusion.Amongst my favourites were "The ship cat of the Suzaku Maru" by SL Huang which I found a fun story that reminded my of Isaac Asimov's work, and "Solidity" by Greg Egan.I bought this book for a Kindle and I did not notice any errors in the text. On my Kindle it runs to 844 pages.
