It won the Hugo award in 2015, which makes a pretty strong case that in fact it is in the top 1000.
- akvadrako 9y agoHow do you figure? I would guess winning a Hugo means the book has a 50% chance of being in the top 10 for that year, but you would expect the yearly contribution to "top 1000 ever" lists to vary wildly. 2015 is too soon to really judge it's staying power and it's hard to judge how much of the praise is because it's non-Western.
- pebers 9y agoI figure that "top 1000" is a lot of books, and there've only been 60 or so Hugo awards, so it seems not unlikely it's in there. I'd also rate winning the Hugo as likely to be better than half a chance of being in the top 10 for that year, I guess that depends how much your personal tastes align with theirs though.
