Help nominate fiction and vote for the only annual award for best pro-freedom fiction: the Prometheus Awards for Best Novel and Best Classic Fiction, plus occasional Special Awards. All the writers listed above (and many more) have won Prometheus Awards for their fiction.

Founded in 1982, the LFS is a tax-exempt nonprofit group with an international membership of libertarians and freedom-loving science fiction fans who believe cultural change is as vital as political change in achieving freedom. After all, imagination is the first step in envisioning a free future – and the peace, prosperity and progress that can take humankind to the stars.

“People come to libertarianism through fiction. They come through Ayn Rand... Robert Heinlein.... L. Neil Smith. When he established the Prometheus Awards, Smith was acknowledging the political contributions that fiction makes to libertarianism. He recognized its importance and influence, namely that it fire the imagination, it fires the vision of man and woman, and it is absolutely essential to inspire people.” – Author Wendy McElroy (www.ifeminists.com), at the 2000 Prometheus Worldcon awards

“As a longtime libertarian and science fiction fan, I consider my LFS membership one of the best deals around. How else would I learn of the new SF books that I'd be most likely want to read? LFS dramatically reduces my search time – and that's very valuable to me.” – Robert Poole, president, Reason Foundation (www.reason.org)
