FROM QUIET, ELEGIAC, contemporary tales to far-future, deep-space sagas, the stories chosen by series editor John Joseph Adams and guest editor Karen Joy Fowler for The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2016 demonstrate the vast spectrum of what science fiction and fantasy aims to illuminate, displaying the full gamut of the human experience, interrogating our hopes and fears--of not just what we can accomplish or destroy as a person, but what we can accomplish or destroy as a people--and throwing us into strange new worlds that can only be explored when we shed the shackles of reality.

The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2016 includes RACHEL SWIRSKY | SOFIA SAMATAR | CHARLIE JANE ANDERS | TED CHIANG | KELLY LINK | MARIA DAHVANA HEADLEY | KIJ JOHNSON | CATHERYNNE M. VALENTE | DEXTER PALMER and others
