andyl in Science Fiction Fans : 2009 Hugo Winners (Aug 21, 2009, 7:01pm)

... for a Hugo in 1999 was Children Of God placed 7th in the Locus Poll Darwinia placed 2nd in the Locus Poll Distraction placed 4th in the Locus Poll Factoring Humanity not on the Locus Poll (and I looked a year each side of 1999). I don't think you can blame the Hugo voters ...

bobmcconnaughey in Science Fiction Fans : June 2009 Reading (Jun 15, 2009, 9:04pm)

Reread distraction - very enjoyable Bruce Sterling on politics, genetic engineering, the dis-uniting of the states. And a nice love story between a political geek and a science geek. Sterling has become a v. good satirist, using near future/SF-ish settings. Read and will reread the city and ...

DeusEx0352 in Science Fiction Fans : Favorite subgenre (Sep 21, 2006, 2:00pm)

... Stephenson in particular have me by the short hairs. Count Zero stands out for no real reason, but then again so does Distraction. I still say that Burning Chrome is my favorite Gibson work. My current torrid affair with scifi that has emptied my wallet is the Foreigner series by C. ...
