William Gibson, \"The Winter Market\"
Johny Mnemonic's good, but The Winter Market's Gibson's best, imo, and gets my vote for the best story.

Re: That\'s Flowers for Algernon (nm)
Ted Chiang wrote a really good collection.
 The Martian Chronicles and The Illustrated Man are both really good, too.   I'm sorry all I can think of are collections; it's been too long for me to remember individual stories. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] -Sam

Re: That\'s Flowers for Algernon (nm)
Does Jorge Luis Borges count as SciFi? His shortstories are all basically single clever ideas, encapsulated in enough story to get the thought across, just like SciFi. But there aren't any space-aliens or laserguns. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Still, Labyrinths is one of my favorite collections of short-stories ever.  -Sam

Re: Best science fiction story of all-time nomination thread
Classical American science fiction was extremely popular in Russia in late 80's and early 90's. Some of my favorite short stories were by Clifford Simak, Poul Anderson and Henry Kuttner.
For this I'd nominate Kuttner's "Hogben" stories that were absolutely hillarious. It was about a family of mutants trying to hide their unusual nature. Also, Georger R.R. Martin's series of stories later published under title "Tuf Voyaging".
