      I doubt any of the shorter works in this year's set of entries is going to enter the canon of great science fiction. I can't judge the novels from the excerpts in this book.I did enjoy Nancy Kress' "After the Fall, Before the Fall, During the Fall", which won in the novella category. Aliette de Bodard's "Immersion", which won for short story, had a nice concept but the story didn't quite live up to it, in my opinion. The rest of the stories I didn't find very memorable.
