The Year's Best Science Fiction

review 1: This is more of a mixed bag than I'm used to from this editor's choices. I've been dipping into it for a few weeks now. I struggled to manage even a page or two of some stories, but others were an absolute delight. There are a couple from the anthology 'Engineering Infinity' which I read last year and loved, so it was a bit of a treat to meet them again. Special mention to the Gwyneth Jones story for being amazing.
review 2: Dozois is always my favored Best of the Year Collection. Particular favorites in this volume were Elizabeth Bear's "Dolly", Karl Schroeder's "Laika's Ghost", Michael Swanwick's "The Dala Horse", Catherynne Valente's "Silently and Very Fast", Tom Purdom's "A Response from EST17" and Kij Johnson's "The Man Who Bridged the Mist". Whether the l... moreast is science fiction is debatable; it's about the effects of technology on lives but it's arguably a secondary-world fantasy. less
