For decades, science fiction has compelled us to imagine futures both inspiring and cautionary. Whether it’s a warning message from a survey ship, a harrowing journey to a new world, or the adventures of well-meaning AI, science fiction inspires the imagination and delivers a lens through which we can view ourselves and the world around us. With The Best Science Fiction of the Year: Volume Six, award-winning editor Neil Clarke provides a year-in-review and 33 of the best stories published by both new and established authors in 2020.

more great Sci Fi

This collection is another good collection of science fiction in this series that gets you thinking about humanity from all different points of view. The narrators are generally very engaging with Jasmine Walker really standing out giving the stories she narrates a lived in and thoughtful feel. One of the narrators is a little weaker than the others but not to the point where it impacts on the stories.
