Collects short stories exploring themes of time and space travel, self-discovery, and science and technology.

This collection of 28 stories by sf's cream of the crop testifies to the healthy state of the genre. From William Gibson's future look at the homeless (``Skinner's Room'') to Kristine Kathryn Rusch's tribute to Civil War photographer Mathew Brady (``The Gallery of His Dream''), Dozois's choices exhibit the varied interests of their authors. Including an informative summary of sf publishing in 1991 and an appendix of recommended reading, this volume is a good choice for libraries interested in keeping abreast of sf short fiction.
