The second volume of a new best-of-the-year science fiction short story anthology edited by Hugo Award-winning editor Neil Clarke. First contact with a mysterious race of aliens reveals an unusual request; a family's pet dog comes to grips with the newly bestowed gift of human-like intelligence; a poet, in danger and alone on a distant world, makes unlikely allies; hundreds of years in the future, a famous hermit lives in the sea above the now-underwater Harvard University; former friends navigate unsteady peace between human refugees and the technologically superior race that saved them; in a future where human life can be infinitely extended through cybertronic rebirth, one woman declines immortality. 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 Two, 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 2016.

Know what you're doing before you order
Color: Grey
There's a very high quality item easy to assemble last a long time it was pretty nice. For the first one. My roommate talked me into buying the second one and then he backed out of the deal he didn't have the money. So I returned it at the Amazon store and like a boomerang it came back. I end up having to buy it anyway you're still sitting in the box

Must have for at home workers!
I bought this divider because I work from home and wanted to have a professional and neutral background for video conferencing. There were other dividers that I contemplated purchasing because of the variety of colors but ultimately decided to go with this divider because of prime shipping. I noticed in the reviews of other dividers on Amazon a lot of people talked about cracks. I noticed a few cracks on mine but they are small and minimal in appearance so it does not bother me (see pictures). Overall, it came in great shape. I love the color of the divider. I was concerned it would come solid brown based on the pictures but it is more rustic, which I love. The dividers are tall and long so it covers a great amount of space. The hinges go either way which is also a plus. I will say it seems slightly unstable on carpet but it would only move if bumped into so that is not much of a concern. Most likely would be more sturdy on solid/ hardwood floors. Overall, I am super happy with my purchase. Definitely worth the price with fast 2 day prime shipping and no assembly needed.
