For decades, science fiction has compelled us to imagine futures both inspiring and cautionary. Whether it's a warning message from a survey ship, a harrowing journey to a new world, or the adventures of well-meaning AI, science fiction inspires the imagination and delivers a lens through which we can view ourselves and the world around us. With The Best Science Fiction of the Year: Volume Three, award-winning editor Neil Clarke provides a year-in-review and twenty-seven of the best stories published by both new and established authors in 2017. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIntroduction: The State of Short SF Field in 2017\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A Series of Steaks by Vina Jie-Min Prasad\u003cbr\u003e Holdfast by Alastair Reynolds\u003cbr\u003e Every Hour of Light and Dark by Nancy Kress\u003cbr\u003e The Last Novelist, or a Dead Lizard in the Yard by Matthew Kressel\u003cbr\u003e Shikasta by Vandana Singh\u003cbr\u003e Wind Will Rove by Sarah Pinsker\u003cbr\u003e Focus by Gord Sellar\u003cbr\u003e The Martian Obelisk by Linda Nagata\u003cbr\u003e Shadows of Eternity by Gregory Benford\u003cbr\u003e The Worldless by Indrapramit Das\u003cbr\u003e Regarding the Robot Raccoons Attached to the Hull of My Ship by Rachel Jones and Khaalidah Muhammad-Ali\u003cbr\u003e Belly Up by Maggie Clark\u003cbr\u003e Uncanny Valley by Greg Egan\u003cbr\u003e We Who Live in the Heart by Kelly Robson\u003cbr\u003e A Catalogue of Sunlight at the End of the World by A.C.
