Prometheus Award Winners

Via ffutures and papersky:

This year produced a tie for the Prometheus Award:

Jo Walton's Ha'Penny

Harry Turtledove's The Gladiator

Both are published by Tor Books. This is the first tie ever for this award and also the first time in the 29 year history of this award that a female author has won [1] (A number of women have won the Hall of Fame Award and by "a number", I mean the number two). Congratulations to both winners.

I assume that for the purposes of this award, Harry Turtledove will be considered some kind of left-leaning [2] Celt. Oddly, I don't think I ever saw Gladiator, let alone read it.

Rather than split the award money in two, my impression is that the two winners will each get one full ounce of gold. Sadly, this is in the shape of a coin and not a small statuette of Ayn Rand strangling Tommy Douglas.

Anthony Burgess' A Clockwork Orange got the Hall of Fame Award.






1: Ah, you giddy Libertarians. You always know how to make the Hugos look gender balanced.

2: By the standards of the US. Yeah, yeah, bar so low we needed to dig a trench for it.

Addressing an oversight on the part of Asimov

Apparently while he published books that got put into nine of the ten catagories in the Dewey Decimal system, he never had anything that fell in the 100s (philosophy). Surely it would be possible to cherry-pick from his essays to assemble a book that would qualify?
