Best novel sounds like a real banger.

A thrillingly told queer space opera about the wreckage of war, the family you find, and who you must become when every choice is stripped from you

Also see how far you have to scroll to find a man.

Best Novellete: The Year without sunshine

Plot: EV-cuckfiction after a "major disaster in Minneapolis" (lol) torture your eyes here for entire story https://www.uncannymagazine.com/article/the-year-without-sunshine/

Best Short Story: Better living through algorithms

Plot: In this near future a journ*lists hears about a new app that apparently is great at helping people to be more productive and happier. At first she thinks it sounds like a cult thing with how every user talks about it a bit too passionately. She tries it though and the key element is that the app is built around a community where other users are instructed to make real phone calls to other users. Like telling them it is time to wake up and remind them of their personal goals. This turns out to be quite effective. As we all know, the motivation to actually do something is low if it is just an app telling you, but if you have a friend waiting for you at the gym - then you have to go.

Journo foid nonsense (btw this is written by the same foid as the last one)

Best Series: Imperial Radch

Plot : Anne Leckie's excellent Imperial Radch trilogy: Ancillary Justice, Ancillary Mercy and Ancillary Sword. It's a great SciFi series, but also quite political, addressing questions around imperialism, workers' rights and especially gender.

Video essayists and their midwit fans have been disastrous for society.

Science fiction and fantasy becoming increasingly separate from academia and literature was a giant mistake. It's resulted in online communities appropriating concepts from literature and literary criticism but divorcing them of their original context and meaning. Of course they think subversion means "You know that good thing, it's actually bad. And that bad thing, heh, bet this is gonna blow your mind: is good."

Goddam that Novellete was AWFUL. Every sentence just smushed your face in the fact the author was the most annoying type of left anarchist. Also LMAO at using a homemade wind turbine to power stuff.

@AnalKong just read A Year Without Sunshine and it's literally poorly written communist propaganda. It hurts too see how far the Hugo award has fallen.

White extinction is long overdue
