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

3.0

As usual with an anthology, hits and misses. Most of the stories were "well, I'll read them to see if it gets good; at least it's short". And some of them got good…

The ones I enjoyed more than others

• The Cleaners


• The first part of The Long Walk


• Two Truths and a Lie


• And This is How to Stay Alive


• The Rat


• One Time, a Reluctant Traveler


• Skipping Stones in the Dark


• Brother Rifle


• Schrodinger’s Catastrophe (probably the best of the lot, both for idea and execution)


• The first part of The Pill


• the idea from The Beast Adjoins
