Will qntm, a.k.a. Sam Hughes, win a Hugo award in any category this year? The story Lena is most likely to be nominated/win, but any work by qntm will count. Winning associated awards, such as The Lodestar Award or The Astounding Award will not resolve this market YES; a Worldcon special award will not resolve this YES; winning an 'extra' Hugo Award (a one-off award that does not fall into one of the regular categories) would resolve this market YES.

qntm did not make the finalists' list. I will leave this open until the planned closing time in hopes that they recognize their mistake, build a time machine, and correct the timeline.

@Duncn if I'm only going to read one. Sam Hughes story, what should I read?

predictedNO

@WrongoPhD I would need to know more about your preferences. But I think Lena has been getting lots of buzz, was nominated for good reason, and is fairly short.

predictedNO

@Duncn I like Ted Chiang for his intriguing concepts, RR Martin for his thoroughly complete worlds, and Joe Abercrombie for his darkness. I'll give Lena a try, thanks.

predictedNO

@WrongoPhD You might especially like Ra, but it is a longer work.

predictedNO

@Duncn Thanks again for the recommendation. I started with Lena and some other short stories and really enjoyed them. I just bought Ra now.

predictedNO

@WrongoPhD Lena and its sequel are in "Valuable Humans in Transit", his new short story collection

predictedNO

@ForrestTaylor Yes, that's what I read. My only complaint is that it was too short.

Ooh, haven't heard of Lena? I enjoyed Antimimetic and Fine Structure so I will have to check that one out

predictedYES

@ForrestTaylor I bought the book, it was excellent
