An inscrutable woman imprisons a monster in her bathtub, a sentient spaceship carries 10,000 frozen human embryos to a distant space colony, a memory tailor alters memories for customers seeking a different past, and a girl goes to great lengths to attend a prestigious magical university. From dystopian resistance to utopian deceit, these stories acknowledge the helplessness, anger, and despair so prevalent in the world. But, as Blake reassures us, they also convince us that ultimately \"faith, persisting and unshakable, will be enough to win.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eTHE BEST AMERICAN SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY 2026\u003c\/i\u003e INCLUDES: SARAH LANGAN - THOMAS HA - ALIX E.
