Brave New Worlds To Explore and Conquer The astonishingly possible is once again showcased in a breathtaking volume of the best short form SF the past year had to offer. Contributed by some of the most revered and exciting voices in the genre -- and compiled by acclaimed editor and anthologist David G. Hartwell -- these stories of wonder and terror, astounding technologies and miraculous discovery, stretch the imagination into realms and universes never dreamed of before. Each tale is a dazzling gem, rocketing readers across light years and into unknown dimensions -- exploring the intricate cultures of alien races and the strange, secret workings of the human mind. And together they form an unparalleled whole -- a collection of luminous visions that shines more brightly than a newborn sun. New tales from: Nancy Kress Ursula K. Le Guin Greg Egan Bruce Sterling Michael Swanwick Gene Wolfe and many more… (plus d'informations)
This is Hartwell's selection of the best stories of 2002: of his 23 choices, I think I count precisely one which made it to the Nebula shortlist, and two which were Hugo nominees (one of which, Michael Swanwick's 'Slow Life', won). That year's double winner was Neil Gaiman's Coraline, which I guess is excluded from Hartwell's collection as fantasy rather than science fiction.
I liked very much almost all of Hartwell's selection. The one that really got under my skin was A.M. Dellamonica's 'A Slow Day At The Gallery'; two others that had stuck in my mind from first reading were Charles Stross's 'Halo' and Greg Egan's 'Singleton'. There were unfortunately a couple of mawkish stories about cute old people, which I note is a disturbing and not particularly funny or interesting trend in American sf these days. All the others are very good. Worth returning to. ( )
If this was the best of the year, it was a bad year for science fiction. There were a total of three stories I considered worth the effort of having read. Unless you just want to own the complete set, skip this one. ( )

Two Futurians: To Virginia Kidd, who nurtured short fiction as well as novels. To Damon Knight, who taught that the anthologist's basic responsibility is not to art or to writers, but to readers.
