Hugo Award Voting Open

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. How about stable Windows? by maxoutrocketmail.com · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    That seems like the best comp sci fiction out there...

    And it keeps coming out with sequels every year or two for those who are die hard fans!

  2. Douglas Adams' Salmon of Doubt due out in May by ackthpt · · Score: 4, Offtopic
    Ok, last time I plug this, it's been rejected 3 times on submission, but here it is to keep Hitchhikers posted:

    Since originally reading here and here, the possibility of Douglas' last works coming to print, I've been checking periodically. On Jan. 9th a hit came up on Amazon for Salmon of Doubt - Hitchhiking the Galaxy One Last Time. A quick check of Harmony Books seems to confirm it's due out in May, one year after the death of Douglas Noel Adams. There's at least cover artwork, as oppose to the last time, back in the mid-90's, or so, when I saw listing of this same book.

    Speculation has been that Salmon and other bits have been harvested from DNA's computer hard drive. As much as Douglas, a tough critic of his own work, may not have wanted other eyes to see work he deemed unfit to publish, it's coming. I'll probably buy the book. Perhaps a pint of bitter, with a pleasantly nutty taste and some Dire Straits will help cope with the mixed feelings.

  3. The RIAA... by pridefinger · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    ...gets my vote for producing more fiction about number of dollars lost because of piracy and the homeless children of RIAA execs...all because of CD ripping.

    How is this science? you ask. What else to you call the walking, talking slugs at the RIAA???
