A review by ladyhacksaway
The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2021 by John Joseph Adams, Veronica Roth

5.0

Particular favorites included:
"Let's Play Dead" by Senaa Ahmad
"Tiger's Feast" by KT Bryski
"The Pill" by Meg Elison
"How to Pay Reparations: A Documentary" by Tochi Onyebuchi
"Our Language" by Yohanca Delgado
"The Cleaners" by Ken Liu
"And This is How to Stay Alive" by Shingai Njeri Kagunda
"The Long Walk" by Kate Elliott
"Skipping Stones in the Dark" by Amman Sabet

Honorable mentions:
Ted Kosmatka's "The Beast Adjoins," which had very cool physics concepts, but conveyed too much in summary/exposition for me.
Yoon Ha Lee's "Beyond the Dragon's Gate," which conceptualized AI bodily autonomy in a way that was particularly Gender.
Sarah Pinsker's "Two Truths and a Lie," which was genuinely unsettling.
