#GardnerDozois 's best short SF of the year collections are always good, but the 1998 one might be the best I've read. My favourite story was a re-read of Ted Chiang's Story of Your Life (later adapted as Arrival) and there are also extremely memorable stories by Geoffrey A. Landis, Greg Egan, Ursula K. Le Guin, Ian R. Macleod, and Michael Swanwick (whose story The Very Pulse of the Machine was adapted for the Love Death + Robots series). The cover, however, is extremely ugly. #Bookstodon @bookstodon
