The second oldest--and most prestigious--awards in the field, they quickly were nicknamed the Hugos (officially since 1958), in honor of Hugo Gernsback (1884 -1967), founder of Amazing Stories, the first professional magazine devoted entirely to science fiction. No awards were given in 1954 at the World Science Fiction Con in San Francisco, but they were restored in 1955 at the Clevention (in Cleveland) and included six categories: novel, novelette, short story, magazine, artist, and fan magazine.

  • PRESS RELEASE Breaking News from SFWRITER.COM Robert J
    PRESS RELEASE Breaking News from SFWRITER.COM Robert J. Sawyer Wins World’s Top Juried Prize for Science Fiction Robert J. Sawyer, 46, of Toronto, has just won the world’s top juried award for science fiction: the John W. Campbell Memorial Award for Best Novel of the Year. The award, which Sawyer won for his latest novel, Mindscan, was presented Friday night, July 7, 2006, at a banquet at the J. Wayne and Elsie M. Gunn Center for the Study of Science Fiction at the University of Kansas. With this award win—his 38th for his fiction—Robert J. Sawyer now joins the most- select club in all of science fiction: the seven writers who have won all three of the field’s top awards for best novel of the year: • the World Science Fiction Society’s Hugo Award, which he won in 2003 for his novel Hominids; • the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America’s Nebula Award, which he won in 1996 for his novel The Terminal Experiment; • and the John W. Campbell Memorial Award, which he has now won for Mindscan. (The full list of winners of all three awards: David Brin, Arthur C. Clarke, Joe Haldeman, Frederik Pohl, Kim Stanley Robinson, Robert J. Sawyer, and Connie Willis; Sawyer is the only Canadian to win all three.) The John W. Campbell Memorial Award was created to honor the late editor of Astounding Science Fiction magazine (renamed Analog Science Fiction and Fact in 1960). Campbell, who edited the magazine from 1937 until his death in 1971, is often called the father of modern science fiction.

  • Fiction List
    Science Fiction Book List The following are books that show a variety of ideas about life in the future. You may choose one of these books or you may choose one not on this list as long as you clear it with me first. The Companions by Sheri S.Tepper. 2003. 549 pages. Fans will hail Hugo nominee Tepper's compelling story of an ordinary woman flung into extraordinary circumstances, but interesting ideas left undeveloped, awkward transitions from first to third person and unfair withholding of information may annoy others. Earth, incredibly overcrowded, has passed a new law prohibiting nonhuman life on the planet. Jewel Delis, dog keeper and member of an underground animal-rights group, wrangles her way to the planet Moss with several dogs, ostensibly to help her unpleasant half brother Paul, a linguist, figure out the peculiar language of the planet's varied inhabitants. Jewel finds Moss every bit as odd as advertised, with strange and dangerous plants, fantastic dances performed by creatures that may or may not be intelligent, and a group of humans descended from the crew of a spaceship that crash-landed years earlier. The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin. 1974. Won both the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award in 1975. The story takes place on the fictional planet Urras and its moon Anarres (since Anarres is massive enough to hold an atmosphere, this is often described as a double planet system). In order to forestall an anarcho-syndical workers' rebellion, the major Urrasti states gave Anarres and a guarantee of non-interference to the revolutionaries, approximately two hundred years before the events of The Dispossessed.

    RENDEZVOUS WITH RAMA BY ARTHUR C. CLARKE PDF, EPUB, EBOOK BookRags | 9781630094454 | | | | | Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clarke PDF Book Our main character draws parallels to the voyages of James Cook, as he and his team begin traversing this cylindrical world. People go and check it out. It's fun to read about how they slowly find out about Rama and what's inside. We have put men next we need a woman! The real rating is not 5 stars by the way; it is only 4. Clarke - and maybe this common to his writing, or just to this book I'll need to find out - seems bizarrely indifferent to the niceties of characterisation. Much as I enjoyed the first Rama book, the second was just plain awful. The basic plot is that a big- ass mystery space ship shows up and humanity has to figure out why and what to do with it. Much of the time it felt like I was reading a textbook, though often enough Clarke's style was worse. A closer look reveals a startling mystery: the object, christened Rama, is not a product of nature at all, but an enormous metal cylinder, clearly crafted with purpose and by intelligent beings. Archived from the original on 17 January The airlocks open into the hub of the massive bowl shaped cap at the North Pole, with three 8-kilometre long stair systems, called Alpha, Beta, and Gamma by the crew, leading to the plain. There are worse things than pulp science fiction, and this is about as good as pulp science fiction gets.

In his foreword to the book's sequel, he stated that it was just a good way to end the first book, and that he added it during a final revision.

  • University-Industry (Et Al.) Interaction in Science Fiction
    Fiction lagging behind or non-fiction defending the indefensible? University-industry (et al.) interaction in science fiction Joaquín M. Azagra-Caro1,*, Laura González-Salmerón2, Pedro Marques1 1 INGENIO (CSIC-UPV), Universitat Politècnica de València, Camino de Vera s/n, E-46022 Valencia, Spain 2 Faculty of Medieval and Modern Languages, University of Oxford ABSTRACT University-industry interaction has supporters and detractors in the scholarly literature. Whereas policymakers have mainly joined the former, science fiction authors have predominantly enrolled the latter. We illustrate how the genre has been critical to university-industry interaction via the analysis of the most positively acclaimed novels from the 1970s to date. We distinguish the analytical dimensions of type of conflict, and innovation helices involved other than university (industry, government, society). By doing so, we merge two streams of literature that had not encountered before: university-industry interaction and representations of science in popular culture. A methodological novelty is the creation of an objective corpus of the literature to increase external validity. Insights include the relevance of the time context, with milder views or disinterest on university-industry interaction in science fiction works after the passage of the Bayh-Dole Act; and the lack of an academic or policy narrative about the benefits of university-industry interaction so convincing as to permeate into popular culture. Discourse is crucial for legitimising ideas, and university-industry interaction may have not found the most appropriate yet. Keywords: university-industry interaction, conflicts, representations of science * Corresponding author. Tel.: +34963877007; fax: +34963877991. E-mail address: [email protected] 1 1.
