Nebula Awards Showcase 2013 is an anthology of science fiction short works edited by Catherine Asaro.
[2] Ryder Miller in the Portland Book Review writes that "The Nebula, despite the recent proliferation of new awards, has remained a stalwart guide to what the field aspires to be.
While regretting the dearth of such traditional themes as "interstellar travel, journeys in time and encounters with extraterrestrials [and] the dream of a clear cut divide between good and evil," he notes the emergence in the anthology of "new directions and genre hybrids [and] some interesting literary stories requiring a close or second reading [that] seem more appropriate for more mature audiences, but maybe one should not underestimate the young."
He notes the presence of "[s]ome big names" along with "new writers and disparate voices" and finds some of the pieces "oceanic, rather than cosmic."
