Drew Ericsson’s Reviews > The Best Science Fiction of the Year, Volume 1 > Status Update

5 of 31 stories in, and I'm struggling to offer 1 star. Mostly dull, box-ticking drivel with little actual sci-fi. E.g.: a mixed-ethnicity gay youth's white, working class thug father murders a boy because he thinks the boy stole the treasured T-shirt that the father gifted his son. Plot twist: the murdered boy was the son's boyfriend. Was this written by a confused 12-year-old taking a critical race theory class?
