Dozois's annual selections bring you closer to the latest trends in world science fiction. The excellent science fiction works of different schools and styles will take you into fascinating and worlds. This collection is divided into two volumes and includes twenty outstanding science fiction stories. Dozois's highly inclusive editorial style ensures that this annual selection contains masterpieces from all genres of American science fiction. For domestic readers who are about to open this book and enter this rich and imaginative world, this is both a shortcut to quickly understand the latest trends in American science fiction and a challenge. The challenge does not come from all the works in the book. Reconstruction, themed on time and space adventures, or Climbing K2 with Canakaradas, themed on the relationship between humans and aliens, will undoubtedly provide a familiar and pleasant reading experience—because such works are also very popular in China. The challenge comes from When Fire Covers the Whole World, with a subtle science fiction background, you may find it hard to identify as a science fiction novel; the challenge also comes from The Lobster, with dizzying concepts, technology, and plot, you may mistakenly think you are reading a postmodern novel. These works do not constitute a large proportion of this annual selection, but their significance is extraordinary. It is precisely these works that, while satisfying readers' reading pleasure, are expanding the boundaries of science fiction.
