The Years Top Hard Science Fiction Stories 5 Reviews
-
Some of these stories were outstanding. Others were unreadable. Nancy Kress's short was particularly disappointing; her best story remains her first.
Most of these stories were "diverse" (meaning chosen specifically for their outwardly "diverse" characters and story lines), and thus, shallow, nonsensical shite. These were NOT the year's top Hard SciFi stories, merely the ones the editor thought should be included in a fit of pseudo-virtuous, proper group-think.
Disappointing.
Next time, go for the stories that are well-written beyond any "message" they may hold. -
Great collection of SF
The individual stories vary in quality, but collectively they make for a compelling read. I've reread several they are that good.
