Science Fiction and Fantasy Book Awards
- A_D_E_P_T 3mo agoIt's over a decade since the big SF awards have been any indicator of quality. These days, they're practically an anti-indicator of quality. What's more, they're heavily weighted in favor of a particular type of science fiction book -- and it's talcum-soft. When was the last time Greg Egan was up for a mainstream award?
- colinb 3mo agoI presume there’s a voting mechanism? Are you complaining because democracy hasn’t yielded your favourite outcome? FWIW I might align with you in not finding all that much that I wanted to read in recent winners. That said this years nominations for Hugos have given me A Drop of Corruption and Shroud I enjoyed the former (and the earlier book in the dance series) and I’m 30% though the latter.
