Reviews
In science fiction, Nebula and Hugo award winners are collected annually. Those anthologies offer the collective judgment of the sf community and represent a sort of received wisdom, a collective sense of taste and fashion. Luckily, also in sf there are Gardner Dozois' Year's Bests, which reflect just one individual's judgment and by now have become part of sf's institutional memory. Dozois' idiosyncratic judgment provides welcome counterpoint to the sometimes too-closely-resembling-popularity-polls voted awards (after all, as someone once said, "A committee is the only known form of life with a hundred bellies and no brain"). Packed with dependable stories by such well-known writers as Gregory Benford, Robert Silverberg, James P. Blaylock, and Gene Wolfe and others by hands less known outside the genre, such as Tony Daniel, Cherry Wilder, and Jonathan Lethem, Dozois' fourteenth selection provides something for every taste and also the opportunity to bridle and dispute that is so important to regular readers of best-of anthologies. An absolute must. Dennis Winters
Dozois has again selected the best short sf of 1996 for inclusion in this award-winning anthology series. Among the 27 writers are Gregory Benford, John Kessel, Robert Silverberg, Maureen F. McHugh, Bruce Sterling, Charles Sheffield, and Stephen Baxter, with contributions covering romance, aliens, a high-tech future, the space program, Africa, scientific thriller, hard science, and cyberpunk. Highly recommended for all sf collections.
