Synopsis

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 our 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.
