Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the choose-wisely dept.

FortKnox writes "This is from SciFi Storm: It's time for the Hugo Award (Best in Science Fiction) nominations and voting for 2001. You can vote if you get at least a Supporting Membership in The Millennium Philcon or ConJosé (location of worldcon). I haven't read much current SciFi (still working on some Heinlein works), but some of the /. readers might be interested in putting in their opinions."

  1. Best of 2001 according to others by Pikathulhu · · Score: 4, Informative
    Here are a few "Best SF of 2001" lists:

    Locus Magazine Best Novels of 2001
    Barnes and Noble Best SF of 2001
    January Magazine Best of 2001 (go down to the bottom for SF)
    Borders Best SF of 2001
    Amazon Best Science Fiction of 2001
    Amazon Best Fantasy of 2001
    Some guy's Best SF of 2001 list
    An Amazon Listmania Best SF of 2001 list

    It's a tiny sample, but it looks like these are clear favorites:

    1. The Wooden Sea, Jonathan Carroll
    2. Perdido Street Station, China Mieville
    3. American Gods, Neil Gaiman

    And all these do well, showing up on several lists and/or ranking high where they're mentioned:

    Cosmonaut Keep, Ken MacLeod
    Nekropolis, Maureen McHugh
    The Chronoliths, Robert Charles Wilson
    Thief of Time, Terry Pratchett
    Kushiel's Dart, Jacqueline Carey
    Revelation Space, Alastair Reynolds

    Personally, I haven't read enough 2001 novels to make a decent list.
