Geoff Ryman. What We Found. (Fantasy & Science Fiction, Sept/Oct 2011)
Ryman takes us to Nigeria, gives us the texture and taste of that country, with a bit of intriguing science thrown in.
Year’s Best SF 15. (eds Hartwell/Cramer, Eos Books, 2010).
As ever, a strong collection of stories, albeit fairly ‘safe’ in terms of a relatively narrow range of sources.
Interzone #216 June 2008
The much-trumpeted ‘mundane-SF’ issue edited by Geoff Ryman.

Fantasy and Science Fiction April 2001
Have Not Have. Geoff Ryman. Classy stuff. The societal impact of technology is something that Ryman has written on before (‘Everywhere’ from Interzone and Dozois 17th being set in the NE of England). This story takes us to a remote Chinese village, providing an exquisite look at traditional lives of people who by todays/tomorrows standards [...]
