Star editor Gardner Dozois has released the table of contents for his upcoming anthology The Year’s Best Science Fiction: Thirty-First Annual Collection, and we are honored to announce that two Tor.com Originals have made the list.

Included are Carrie Vaughn’s deeply moving short story about the discovery of extraterrestrial intelligence “The Best We Can,” and Nancy Kress’ incredible novella “One,” which follows a brutal boxer who is burdened with super-empathy after a blow to the head, and struggles to resist the intimacies his new powers reveal to him. Also on Dozois’ list is Ken Liu’s “The Plague,” which was published as part of Nature magazine’s “Futures” series and reprinted on Tor.com here.

You can see the complete table of contents below the cut.
