Requirements: ePUB reader | 6.7 MB
Overview:Gardner Dozois has been working in the science fiction field for more than thirty years. For twenty years he was the editor of Asimov’s Science Fiction, during which time he received the Hugo Award for Best Editor fifteen times. In 1984, Gardner Dozois gathered together what he thought was the best short science fiction of the previous year. He scrutinized as many of the magazines, collections and anthologies published in 1983 that he could get his hands on and chose those which he felt best represented the science fiction field. Jim Frenkel published it under the title of ‘Year’s Best SF’ as part of his Bluejay Books line (for three years) and it has been produced every year since then (by St. Martins’s Press). Beginning with the fifth volume ( published as volume one in the series ) Constable & Robinson began publishing the series in the UK under the title of ‘The Mammoth Book of Best New SF’ this series has also continued to the present day.

The Mammoth Book of The Best of Best New SF:
Hugo Award-winning editor Gardner Dozois’ annual anthology has long been considered the standard by which other best-of-the-year SF collections are judged. After two decades’ worth of superlative science fiction, Dozois now presents a retrospective compilation culling from the last 20 years. Here under one banner is some of the finest work by the genre’s leading authors, with a star-studded list of contributors that features among others: Stephen Baxter, Greg Bear, William Gibson, Terry Bisson, Greg Egan, Ursula K. Le Guin, Robert Reed, Robert Silverberg, Bruce Sterling, Charles Stross, Michael Swanwick, Gene Wolfe. A number of the selections are now considered classics. Some notable stories include: ‘Blood Music’, Greg Bear’s Hugo-winning exploration of nanotechnology. ‘Bears Discover Fire’, Terry Bisson’s tongue-in-cheek consideration of future ursine evolution. ‘Coming of Age in Karhide’, Ursula K. Le Guin’s coming-of-age SF tale. ‘The Winter Market’, in which William Gibson returns to the subject that made him a cultural icon, cyberpunk. With work spanning two decades, this is the most significant science fiction short story anthology published in years.
