If you're looking for the critics' choices for last year's best SF, the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association has released the winners.
Geez. I am still so enamoured with the "classic" SF I grew up with that I am completely out of touch.
While we're at it, the nominees for the corresponding, fan-selected Hugo Awards, are also out and the winners will be selected at the World Science Fiction Convention in Boston this September.
I also note with some interest that although these are the sponsoring sites of the two major awards given out as often as not for futuristic fiction, their Web design skills appear to have stalled somewhere around 1995. How ironic.
