Unplugged: the best sf published on the Web in 2008

Just released: Unplugged: The Web's Best Sci-Fi & Fantasy – 2008 Download, edited by Rich Horton and published by Wyrm Publishing, who also bring you the excellent Clarkesworld sf magazine.

Unplugged is a collection of short stories that were originally published on the Web, a kind of yearly best-of-the-Internet-sf. The first edition is all stories published in 2008, including work by Nancy Kress, Peter S Beagle, Catherynne M. Valente, and me!

I love the model of adding value to free material by curating and packaging it — this has been the model of the O'Reilly tech books ever since Tim O'Reilly wrote the first user manual for Unix — and this certainly is a handsome package.
