To keep 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 accomplishable by only the most determined and voracious fans. For everyone else, Night Shade Books is proud to introduce the inaugural volume of The Best Science Fiction of the Year, a new 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.
Neil Clarke is the award-winning publisher and editor in chief of Clarkesworld magazine, winner of three Hugo Awards for Best Semiprozine, and the editor of the 2014 cyborg-themed original anthology Upgraded. Clarke lives in Stirling, New Jersey.

The narrators are generally poor. One younger female narrator is very poor and hard to listen to.

No one of the first storys electrified me, I listened hungry for action. I wanted, I love quick drama . In spite of the quieter tone I was seduced into listening. I found myself drawn one story at a time into to reading the next, I became intrigued, hungry for I knew not what.
I was receiving something as powerful in it's draw as drama, angst, or action. I was expanding into an awareness, growing, here were possibilities. I was learning ways of seeing.
Alas...
I must admit, I twice, - lacking insight, just missed the whole point. I'd missed understanding the story spirit that turns a well told Science fiction into a thing of wonder.
Reading Sci.Fi. opens, unfixes our assumptions on possibilities, it's a tool for opening the mind, and imagination.
But I guess I knew that as I'm shure you do.
Sometimes I just Zoom, you know?
I listen, awareness, insights grow.<br />Read on...
