The Mammoth Book of Science Fiction

Rating:
Summary: real science fiction
Review: In the Introduction Mike Ashley writes that science fiction is a literature of ideas. Many authors and editors who claim to work on the field these days seem to have forgotten this. (or maybe they never knew) But Mr.Ashley delivers in the grand tradition. This is an awsome collection of original ideas. The stories are varied, interesting, deep, funny, spooky - but all are good.

If you think that SF should be about original ideas and not tired cliches then this book is for you. Mr.Ashley appears to be a slightly better editor then Hartwell, and way way better then Dozois.
