The Best Science Fiction of the Year, Vo Neil Clarke
First contact with a mysterious race of aliens reveals an unusual request; a family’s pet dog comes to grips
with the newly bestowed gift of human-like intelligence; a poet, in danger and alone on a distant world, makes
unlikely allies; hundreds of years in the future, a famous hermit lives in the sea above the now-underwater
Harvard University; former friends navigate unsteady peace between human refugees and the technologically
superior race that saved them; in a future where human life can be infinitely extended through cybertronic
rebirth, one woman declines immortality.
For decades, science fiction has compelled us to imagine futures both inspiring and cautionary, delivering a lens
through which we can view ourselves and the world around us. With The Best Science Fiction of the Year: Volume Two,
award-winning editor Neil Clarke provides a year-in-review and twenty-seven of the best stories published by both
new and established authors in 2016.
