The Years Best Science Fiction: Thirty-Third Annual Collection missed the universe and it was great being there again. Flynn - Honorable Mentions Likely, you will like a different set than me. But enough great and near-great stories to keep you reading, and to bring you back for future re-reads. For me, 4 stars overall. I wonder if Dozois had settled on his final story order before his untimely death. The opening two stories were among the weakest in the anthology, I thought. Online, too. Don't miss! And online too. If I missed any, please add to comments! Indian military cantonment on Luna, retired soldier living in a slum on Earth. An odd story about a shape-changing English teacher in contemporary China. I gave up. The Years Best Science Fiction: Thirty-Third Annual Collection, a decent story! Some weird Priesthood is involved, and a loyal, part- Neanderthal bodyguard. Lots of action! An Uber habitat, one of three in orbit in the near future, gets a visit from the company's trillionaire CEO. He has a plan for World Domination. I liked it better on second reading. An atmospheric love story, of sorts, in a far-future Rome. Reminiscent of late Silverberg, a very fine tale. A far-future architect on Earth is creating a memorial on Mars. Complications ensue. In an overpopulated future, a few pioneers have colonized huge gasbag creatures they call "whales", on an outer-planet moon, likely Titan. These folks aren't big on touchy-feely, so recruiting a replacement crew member is always fraught. Two lovers meet in Istanbul for their winter vacations. Bittersweet slice The Years Best Science Fiction: Thirty-Third Annual Collection life in a far future. The alien Likkies are here to help mankind. Except for the people on the bottom, who lost their jobs. And are taking violent action. Good story, 3. A great starship is sabotaged, and forced to stop at a mysterious alien object. A Dai Viet Empire story, this one is about a Viet group whose home world was destroyed by a super-weapon wielded by their enemies the Ro. Peace has returned, but … I have a blind spot for this series, and failed again to make much sense of it. Very short story about chasing dreams, in the near future. Not for me. Post-apocalyptic mood piece. An old man dies, and leaves his cybernetic clone to carry on his legacy. Dalits Untouchables in space, sort of. Not for me! And I like stories about India! Life and love in a future Beirut, recovering from droughts and other environmental ills. Sexy showers! How life and love don't work out the way you think they should. Grim, well-written, not to my taste. A well-crafted story of a sea-based habitat the Marshall Islanders are building in Bikini Atoll. Things go wrong, in ways it would be unfair to reveal, but which are scientifically plausible. Classic biter-bit tale, in a posthuman, post space-war setting. A young woman in Victorian England builds a viewer that can see a more-advanced parallel London. Satire of the then-ruling class. The first human expedition to an exoplanetary system finds life, intelligence, and a deadly threat to its existence. What it says: grim, spare, pared-down story of an alien invasion. A new writer to watch for. Caution: dogs die. Sad and rather pointless story of a young woman in a future Mexico City, her on-again, off-again boyfriend, big-city angst, and her desire to move to the Mars colony. Recreated Neanderthals were a failure, but the hybrid Thalers are bright and mostly sociable. Plus mammoths, wooly rhinos, and other Pleistocene fauna fill-ins, in a northern Canadian park. No Triceratops. Thoughtful story, especially for just 7 pages. A war The Years Best Science Fiction: Thirty-Third Annual Collection on a future colony world. A damaged soldier searches for land mines, planted by the enemy.

Everyone on the atmospheric The Years Best Science Fiction: Thirty-Third Annual Collection project thinks it's the quaintest thing. They can't understand it. Look at the space it takes up! And it attracts stuff. De-print them, de-print it, get rid of the dust, free up the space. You don't need surfaces to work. That's true. I work through Marid, my familiar. I've skinned it as its namesake, a great and powerful djinn, hovering over my left shoulder. My co-workers think this quaint too. I spend my shifts in a pavilion of interlocutors. My familiar meeting my client's familiar: relaying each other's words. The The Years Best Science Fiction: Thirty-Third Annual Collection furniture of psychologist is a chair, not a cluttered desk. And a couch. To which I say; the couch is a psychoanalytic cliche, and try laying a Saturn entry probe on a chaise longue, even before you get to the Oedipal rage and penis envy. The desk stays. Yes it takes up stupid space in my office, yes, I have piled it with so many empty food containers and disposable tea cups and kawaii toys and even physical print-outs that I'm permanently running close to my carbon limit. But I like it; it makes this cubicle an office. And it displays — displayed, before the strata of professional detritus buried it — my daughter's first archaeological find.
