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

Which year can one start ignoring Hugo award winners? I like some of the old timey scifi…not sure when they got completely asinine, but trying to discern what's a good cutoff date.

You can probably go a few years earlier but in 2020 a literal blog post entitled "George R.R. Martin Can Frick Off Into the Sun" was nominated for a Hugo Award. That's a pretty definitive turning point.

I've turned off comments as I'm tired of dealing with tone policing, personal attacks, and abuse (the latter of which I have not been putting through, but it's a special kind of mean to wish death on someone who survived an illness with a 30% mortality rate).
