A review by fantasynovel
The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2021 by John Joseph Adams, Veronica Roth

5.0

I loved most of these stories, though my favorite was definitely the first one. Some of stories weren't so well written, including the one about the AIs who changed spaceship shells and the one about the pandemic in the year 2040 or something like that. But "Let's Play Dead", "Crawfather", "How to Pay Reparations: A Documentary", "Our Language", "Schroödinger's Catastrophe", "The Cleaners", "And This Is How To Stay Alive", "The Beat Adjoins", "The Long Walk", "Skipping Stones in the Dark", and "Two Truths and a Lie" were all great. "Two Truths and a Lie" could have been much creepier, but it was good as it was, too.
