Title: The Year's Best Science Fiction: Thirtieth Annual Collection
Editor: Gardner Dozois
Genre: Science fiction short story anthology
Thingummies: 4
Synopsis: A collection of some of the best science fiction stories from 2012.
Thoughts: Some of these stories were a hit for me, others a miss. But in general, they're well done.
I particularly liked: "Sudden, Broken, and Unexpected", about a washed up musician who enters a strange partnership with an AI; "The Wreck of the Charles Dexter Ward", a Frankenstein's monster tale in deep space; "The Finite Canvas", about penance through tattoos, and "Old Paint", about a family's relationship with its ancient AI driven car.
Others, like "The Memcordist", were just too disjointed and stylized for me.
Overall, though, a strong collection.
