This annual anthology series has become a science fiction institution, and deservedly so. Gardner Dozois, unquestionably one of the field's finest editors, has a sharp eye when it comes to selecting the best short stories published in the genre, whether they come from his own magazine
Asimov's Science Fiction or obscure, small-press zines. This year's picks include authors such as Gregory Benford, Michael Swanwick, Bruce Sterling, Charles Sheffield, and Steven Baxter. Those interested in the professional side of science fiction will find Dozois's annual summation--a sort of State of the Union address for the genre--invaluable.
