About this listen
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.

Not worth to purchase.
The stories in this book are unimpressive, plotless word salads. They are NOT sci-fi stories, either: boring and difficult to follow. Why were these stories selected as best sci-fi ??? Overall, avoid this book, save your money or go with something else. Very disappointing experience .

Boring and pointless
Absolutely does not deserve to be titled 'The Best' anything. The stories are insipid, with weak or non-existent plots. It's quite unbelievable that some of the authors have won awards, but then there seems to be some identity politics involved.
Note to self: stay away from Night Shade Books.
