The best science fiction scrutinizes our culture and politics, examines the limits of the human condition, and zooms across galaxies at faster-than-light speeds, moving from the very near future to the far-flung worlds of tomorrow in the space of a single sentence. Neil Clarke has selected the short science fiction (and only science fiction) best representing the previous year's writing, showcasing the talent, variety, and awesome "sensawunda" that the genre has to offer.

Historia
Beyond the Aquila Rift: It's shorthand for the trip no one ever hopes to make by accident. The one that will screw up the rest of your life, the one that creates the ghosts you see haunting the shadows of company bars across the whole Bubble. Men and women ripped out of time, cut adrift from families and lovers by an accident of an alien technology we use but rarely comprehend.

Historia
Prescient and scientifically accurate, Heart of the Comet is known as one of the great hard SF novels of the 1980s. First published in 1986, it tells the story of an ambitious manned mission to visit Halley's Comet, alter its orbit, and mine it for resources. But all too soon, native cells - that might once have brought life to Earth - begin colonizing the colonists. As factions battle over the comet's future - and that of Earth - only love, courage, and ingenuity can avert disaster and spark a new human destiny.

Historia
Dr. Tyson Klein is a quantum physicist who has dedicated his entire life to his research. At CERN, he analyses data generated by the Large Hadron Collider, the world's biggest and most powerful particle accelerator. Now, Ty believes he's found a pattern in its output. It looks like an organised data stream, being broadcast over what he calls a quantum radio. Could it be a signal from another universe? A message sent from the future? Or something else entirely?

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Interesting stories but bad audio quality.
Overall, I enjoyed most, though not all, of the stories. One or two weren’t necessarily what I would consider “Hard” science fiction, but weren’t bad nonetheless.
My only major complaint is that the audio for all the stories narrated by Nancy Linari sounds like it was compressed too much. Her voice was distorted and barely understandable. There were numerous times I had to rewind and crank up the volume just to understand some words or phrases she was saying.
It was especially jarring when it switched back to Tom Dheere. His audio was very clear. It was as if they were from two different audio books entirely.
I probably wouldn’t recommend this purchase simply because the quality of the stories doesn’t make up for the frustrating sound issues.

Medium quality in every way
There was some sound distortion in the first recording. Some misspoken words make me wonder if it was read by AI.
But what stood out most was the story The Proving Grounds. Fiction has no business being in a science fiction compilation.

Terrible overly compressed and distorted audiot
The audio quality of this is way below expectations.
The audio is overly compressed with annoying compression artifacts and low fidelity, making it very hard to listen to.
Also, the readers’ performances come across as stilted and wooden.
I would love to have a high fidelity and lively reading of these stories. Forced to rate the stories, even though i haven’t listened to them all due to terrible audio quality.

Terrible sounding.
I find it impossible to listen to this book. It sounds like it is read in a tin can with recording in low bitrate. Terrible!
