Sissejuhatav jutt ja antoloogiate valiku põhjendus on toodud ära 2015. aasta postituses, ja seega ei hakka ennast kordama. Korrektsuse huvides toon
siiski ära antoloogiate ja nende koostajate nimetused:
Charles Yu, John Joseph Adams „The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2017“
Neil Clarke „The Best Science Fiction of the Year: Volume 2“
Gardner Dozois „The Year's Best Science Fiction: Thirty-Fourth Annual Collection“
Paula Guran „The Year's Best Dark Fantasy & Horror: 2017“
Rich Horton „The Year's Best Science Fiction & Fantasy 2017“
Jonathan Strahan „The Best Science Fiction & Fantasy of the Year: Volume Eleven“
Neist antoloogiatest on mul endal reaalselt olemas Yu-Adams, Clarke, Horton
ja Strahan; kahtlane, kas edaspidi Clarke’i valikut ostan, ainult SF-keskne
antoloogiatellis on minu jaoks üsna piinadega loetav. Mul pole õrna aimugi, mis
põhjusel Hortoni raamat ilmus alles 2018. aasta algul, ja kas sama kirjastuse
Gurani antoloogia sel aastal üldse jätku saab – igatahes pole senini näinud
selle arvatavat sisukorda (kuigi näiteks Hortoni 2018. aasta valik on ta enda blogis avaldatud). Näib, et Dozois antoloogia enam Mammoth-seerias ei ilmu.
Kui nüüd 2016. aastale pilguke heita, siis märkimisväärne on muidugi suhteliselt
värske autori Rich Larsoni 7 taastrükki (ehk kokku 5 lugu) 4 antoloogias;
ligilähedane on Sam J. Milleri populaarsus. Mitte et ma kuidagi mõistaks
kummagi autori märkimisväärsust, minu meelest on tegemist üsna harju keskmiste
tekstidega.

McLeodi jutt on päris
tore, Milleri habemelugu paneb õlgu kehitama. Ise soovitaks vast lugeda Gilman,
Bacigalupi, Bell, Novik, Weinstein ja Yu, ehk ka Valentine’i sinist
prügiookeani.
