The book collects pieces that won or were nominated for the Nebula Awards for novella, novelette and short story for the year 1996, a profile of 1996 Grand Master award winner A. E. van Vogt with a representative early story by him, and various other nonfiction pieces related to the awards, together with the Rhysling Award-winning poems for 1995 and an introduction by the editor. Not all nominees for the various awards are included.
Kirkus Reviews called the anthology "another excellent compendium," with "[f]ine fiction along with valuable insights." The van Vogt piece (also "excellent") and Benford essay ("splendid") were singled out for brief comment.[2]
The collection was also reviewed by Gary K. Wolfe in Locus no. 436, May 1997, Michael M. Levy in The New York Review of Science Fiction, November 1997, and Diana Jackson in Pirate Writings no. 16, 1998.[1]
The anthology placed ninth in the 1998 Locus Poll Award for Best Anthology.[1]
