Reviews
Unlike sf's coveted Hugo awards, which reflect actual fans' votes, the Nebulas are bestowed by fellow authors, specifically the members of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America. Any collection of Nebula winners can be counted on to present the genre's finest literary artisans. The 2005 Showcase is no exception. A panorama of styles and subjects is provided by such veterans in the field as Harlan Ellison, Robert Silverberg, and Elizabeth Moon as well as such relative newcomers as Eleanor Aranson, Jeffrey Ford, and Adam-Troy Castro. Standouts among these standouts include Karen Joy Fowler's "What I Didn't See," about the last surviving member of an African expedition, who harbors a dark secret, and rising star Cory Doctorow's high-tech tale about a programmer whose best friend rises from the dead. Accompanying the fiction is a quintet of insightful essays, spearheaded by Bruce Sterling, on evolving trends in contemporary sf. Editor Dann's introductory comments identify each author's influences and add depth to a superior collection. Carl Hays
