The February issue looks back at Y2K, with Recommended Reading lists of the best books and stories of 2000; year-in-review articles by Locus reviewers and others (including Gardner Dozois and Michael Swanwick); and summaries of the year's trends in book and magazine publishing.

This issue also has Locus's annual Poll and Survey ballot -- an online version is available here.

Interviews are with Lois McMaster Bujold and Terry Brooks. Main news stories include the 2000 preliminary Nebula Ballot; the 2000 UPC Award; the 2000 Philip K. Dick Award nominees; and details of the forthcoming Nebula Awards and HWA/Stoker/World Horror Convention weekends.
