anthology: THE BEST AMERICAN SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY 2016

The stories demonstrate the vast spectrum of what science fiction and fantasy aim 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 peole - and throwing us into strange new worlds that can only be explored when we shed the shackles of reality.
