Locus award for best sf of 2008 ballot online

Posted by Cory Doctorow, February 9, 2009 6:08 AM | permalink

It's time again for Locus Magazine's annual public poll of the best works in science fiction for the preceding year, with the winners taking home the prestigious Locus Awards. I've been privileged to win several of these awards, and they're among the highest honors I've ever been paid. The Locus Awards are open to the general public, and attract more voting participation than any other award in the field.

I'm on the ballot again this year, three times: Little Brother (Best Young Adult), The Things That Make Me Weak and Strange Get Engineered Away (Best Novelette) and True Names (with Benjamin Rosenbaum, Best Novella). Looking at this year's nominees, it's clear that I'm in damned good company.

Happy voting!

Best novel: Neal Stephenson's Anathem. Or, Iain M. Banks Matter. Both are Perfection.

been reading some reviews of Anathem where people are complaining that the book isn't 'fun' like 'crash or 'nomicon, and that the made up words screw up ones propensity to get lost in the story, necessitating a lot of re reading and looking up of definitions... care to comment?
