Though interesting and fun to see what is contained inside this volume, there is no question that this anthology is for science fiction diehards. The collection includes the 2001 winners of the Nebulas in four basic categories Best Novel (an extract from "The Quantum Rose" by Catherine Asaro); Best Novella ("The Ultimate Earth" by Jack Williamson); Best Novelette ("Louise's Ghost" by Kelly Link); and Best Short Story ("The Cure for Everything" by Severna Park). Additionally two runner-ups (Best Short Story "The Elephants on Neptune" by Mike Resnick; and Best Novelette "Undone" by James Patrick Kelly). A fifth category, Best Script lists the winners. The five categories are clearly defined with the four print ones based on number of words. Other information about the awards including a complete list of nominees makes for an entertaining time for those who appreciate the vastness of the genre.
