Year's Best
SF 04
EDITED BY
David G. Hartwell

To Henry G. Hartwell (1907-1998), a good father, who died in 1998. He was an electrical
engineer proud of his MIT degree, in his youth a passionate radio ham who never trusted Hugo
Gernsback's magazines because some of the technology didn't work well. He did not often read
fiction for pleasure until late in life. I got love of science and technology from him.

Acknowledgments
This part has not changed since last year. The existence of Locus and Tangents makes doing an annual
anthology easier and I thank them both for their devotion to considering the short fiction published each
year in the SF field. Secondly, I am grateful to the publishers of the SF magazines for continuing the uphill
battle to stay in business and publish fiction in 1998.
