Year's Best Science Fiction
- Jan. 21st, 2004 at 2:00 AM
I'm speechless.
But not so speechless that I can't remind you that you don't need to wait for the book to read the story (although I hope you'll still pick up the book). It's still available for free perusal at Salon, with the viewing of a short ad.
Damn. Wow.
* NOTE: The link above is to the 20th edition of YBSF, containing stories from 2002.

Of course, if you really want to get caught up on short fiction, you'll need the most recent edition. As of this coming July. ;-)
I'm working on the Collected Works of Bilmo. :) So far, I have two Realms of Fantasy, and a printed copy of Love In A Time of Spyware that I printed straight off Salon.
I humbled by your Bilmo collection. Thank you. Hey, did you ever read "Dance of the Yellow-Breasted Luddites"?
