This follow-up to NPR's 2010 is compiled similarly: votes taken from the public, then vetted by a panel of judges, in this case Amal El-Mohtar, Ann Leckie, Tochi Onyebuchi, and Fonda Lee. The published list is arranged by loose categories -- "Worlds to get lost in," "Will mess with your heart," etc. -- and here are listed alphabetically by author. The judges limited selections to one per author.
