The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2017

"This volume showcases the nuanced, playful, ever-expanding definitions of the genre and celebrates its current renaissance." -Washington Post Science fiction and fantasy can encompass so much, from far-future deep-space sagas to quiet contemporary tales to unreal kingdoms and beasts. But what the best of these stories do is the same across the genres-they illuminate the whole gamut of the human experience, interrogating our hopes and our fears. With a diverse selection of stories chosen by series editor John Joseph Adams and guest editor Charles Yu, The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2017 continues to explore the ever-expanding and changing world of SFF today, with Yu bringing his unique view-literary, meta, and adventurous-to the series' third edition.
