Stories by Ken Liu, Charlie Jane Anders, Victor LaValle, Elizabeth Bear, and others—guest-edited by the author of the mega–bestselling Outlander series.

Today’s readers of science fiction and fantasy have an appetite for stories that address a wide variety of voices, perspectives, and styles. There is an openness to experiment and pushing boundaries, combined with the classic desire to read about spaceships and dragons, future technology and ancient magic, and the places where they intersect. Contemporary science fiction and fantasy looks to accomplish the same goal as ever—to illuminate what it means to be human. With a diverse selection of stories chosen by series editor John Joseph Adams and Diana Gabaldon, The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2020 explores the ever-expanding and changing world of SFF today.

The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2020 is highly recommended for anyone interested in contemporary speculative fiction, or just some of the best current American fiction, period.” —Booklist (starred review)

“Gabaldon brings together 20 stories that memorably and creatively explore genre themes . . . The variety of styles and themes on offer here demonstrate the sustained vitality of genre fiction.” —Publishers Weekly
