"Some are escapes into other worlds. ... Some simmer with radical revolution quite loudly, and others subvert our cultural mores more quietly." The strange and brilliant worlds drawn in The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2022 showcase imagination at its finest, defying expectations and reinventing life as we know it.

These stories are urgent, and, as Roanhorse writes. "They all-no matter how dark they might twist and turn-offer a glimmer of hope."
