My Review: The fun - if sometimes frustrating - thing about reading the Hugo nominated novelettes and short stories is that I generally go into the reading without much in the way of preconceived notions about the story itself. That doesn’t mean I’m not already acquainted with the author, but that I haven’t seen anything [...]| Escape Reality, Read Fiction!

[From an announcement from Glasgow 2024 posted July 25, 2024] Glasgow 2024 has announced an innovative consultative vote on a proposed change to the Hugo Award categories. This proposed change, initially passed by the 2023 WSFS Business Meeting in Chengdu, would create two new Hugo Award categories, the Best Independent Short Film Award and the […]| The World Science Fiction Society
My Review: I came into this story not quite sure what I was getting into. Probably not helped by reading the “St.” in the title as “Saint” instead of “Street”. I think the “Brotherhood” bit led me astray. But only a bit. The opening of this story was a bit jarring, when the unnamed narrator [...]| Escape Reality, Read Fiction!
My Review: Once upon a time, there were two Ph.D students who fell in love and got married. Then reality set in, a particular academic reality known as the ‘two-body problem’. They are two bodies, both in need of those oh-so-rare tenure track positions, but for both of them to advance in their careers they [...]| Escape Reality, Read Fiction!
My Review: I’m attempting to be a bit - just a bit - more deliberate in my Hugo reading this year, so I’ll be reviewing all of the Best Novelette nominees before moving on to the Best Short Story nominees. With one exception for Lake of Souls by Ann Leckie because I reviewed that year [...]| Escape Reality, Read Fiction!
My Review: As much as I enjoy audiobooks, I don’t listen much to podcasts. Howsomever, last year when I finally realized that a lot of the shorter works nominated for the Hugo Awards were available as podcasts, the penny dropped and I dove in. Last year, I opened my Hugo reviewing with a short work [...]| Escape Reality, Read Fiction!

We have entered an era of AI slop. Periodicals are struggling with floods of submissions cooked up by ChatGPT rather than human imaginations, while readers downloading ebooks from Amazon are faced with the possibility of their latest purchase being the churned-out product of AI masquerading as actual creativity or scholarship. While science fiction is no...| WWAC
Glasgow 2024, a.k.a. the 82nd World Science Fiction Convention (Worldcon), concluded on Monday 12 August, finishing five days of celebrating science fiction, fantasy and speculative writing, in the shadow of the Finnieston Crane, a symbol of Glasgow’s industrial past, at the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre (SEC), a futuristic emblem of its present. By a […]|
At the Hugo Awards ceremony for Glasgow Worldcon 2024 on the evening of Sunday 11 August, the event overcame any of the earlier issues around attempts to interfere with the judging process, and produced an exemplary and transparent ballot, with a stellar list of winners. Held in the huge SEC Armadillo auditorium of the Scottish […]|
One of the most hotly awaited, and contested, outcomes of any Worldcon is the location of the next unassigned Worldcon. Competing bids for the next location two years hence are keenly supported by stands and collaterals—for Worldcons to come. And now we know the lucky recipient for 2026: Los Angeles. As officially announced during Worldcon […]|
I will report for TeleRead from Glasgow for Worldcon 2024 next month, but as many may know, the news has already started. A brazen attempt was made to suborn the voting process for the 2024 Hugo Aw…| teleread.org
