Title: Not recommended!
Product review: At the risk of getting hanged & quartered by admirers of Gardner Dozois, I must state that if THIS is the "best" of sci-fi for an entire year, then the genre has sunk in its intellectual pseudo-highbrow psychological stew, trying to get rid of the taut narrative-based sails that had kept the genre afloat. Just compare these stories with the Hall of Flame collections, and get to see the difference.
