2.0

Probably the weakest Year's Best yet. There were only two stories I particularly enjoyed; My Father's Singularity, by Brenda Cooper, and The Starship Mechanic, by Jay Lake and Ken Scholes. The rest were mediocre at best. I would have been more disappointed that this was also the shortest collection of the series if the stories were more absorbing, but finishing it actually came as a relief. Hope the next one's better.
