Reading Roundup Wrapup: June 2023

Pick of the month: Twenty-First Century Science Fiction edited by David G. Hartwell and Patrick Nielsen Hayden. I always feel like it's cheating to pick a "best of" anthology, but I guess there are bad ones, so including the best sf is not necessarily a guarantor of quality. This is a good one indeed, lots of stuff I enjoyed reading.
