Hugo time. The ballots are officially open, and those that can vote are, hopefully, trying to make educated decisions on who they think should win. I take it pretty seriously, and I imagine most folks do as well. This is a big freaking deal. I get the email daily; who do I think is going to win for Best Novel? That email is usually followed by two more asking who didn’t get nominated that I think should have been. Both are loaded questions, and usually I have to think long and hard about it. I have this type of conversation with my reviewers all the time. I have this conversation with other authors. Oddly, this year those emails are incredibly easy to answer. I’ll start off by once again congratulating all those individuals who are nominated in all categories. I’m still a bit stunned over my own nomination, and I’m incredibly humbled and grateful. But again, this little article is about the Hugo for Best Novel. Who do I think is going to win this year? Scalzi wins it for REDSHIRTS. He just does. I personally think it was the best novel in the field. While every other novel in the category had its own strengths and weaknesses, REDSHIRTS is the one I enjoyed the most. It’s an opinion shared by my awesome reviewers at Elitist Book Reviews. It was an easy call. Whew. But see, I’m always much more interested in who didn’t get nominated. Every year after the shortlists are announced people go nuts about who wasn’t nominated, and why other people were nominated instead. I’ll admit I’m part of that crowd. When you read as many books as I do in a year, it takes something special to stand out. Now, before I go on, please don’t misinterpret what follows as my saying that those who were nominated shouldn’t have been. I’m not saying that. They are on that list for a reason. They write books that people read. More importantly, they write books that people like. End of story. I love that people question what is “Hugo Worthy”. Why? Because no one is wrong, and I love how much passion is displayed by the readers. All over the internet people are fighting tooth and nail about how their pick is the most worthy. That is dedication. That is fandom. I’ve read a lot of books, and as I turn the final page on each subsequent volume I realize more and more that the important thing is that we are all reading. Do you love the novels that are nominated for the Hugo this year? Great, now go share that enthusiasm with ten friends. Maybe you feel deflated because the novel that completely blew you mind isn’t anywhere close to the shortlist. Guess what? Take that frustration and excitement for your favorite novel of the year and go tell a hundred people about it. I love reading. I love the excitement and controversy the Hugo Awards bring because it’s another opportunity for me to share the books that have me thrilled to talk about them (whether on the Hugo ballot or not). Here are the novels that had me positively giddy this year: THE COLDEST WAR by Ian Tregillis – Holy freaking cow. I’m convinced that the only reason this isn’t on the Hugo ballot is because not enough people read it. Alternate history has 3 become a gold mine for incredible stories, and Tregillis tells one of love, lies, spies and gods in THE COLDEST WAR. The follow-up to it, NESSESARY EVIL, is amazing, and will be on my Hugo ballot next year. CALIBAN’S WAR by JAMES S.A. Corey – I’ve grown tired of Science Fiction. Again, my personal opinion, but there seems to be a serious lack in strong, character driven stories in SF. But I love CALIBAN’S WAR. Amazing characters, incredible adventures, real danger, excellent writing…man, this is the kind of novel that has my imagination doing backflips. THE KING’S BLOOD by Daniel Abraham – How can one guy tell a tale so effortlessly? I’m incredibly jealous. Abraham is gifted, and THE KING’S BLOOD is the kind of Fantasy that puts me in the world in a way that only Steven Erikson and George R.R. Martin can. THE KING OF THORNS by Mark Lawrence – When it comes to the gritty Fantasy that everyone seems to be doing now, it takes someone special to stand out. Like Joe Abercrombie, Lawrence has an uncanny ability to have his characters always to the thing most appropriate for the situation, no matter how terrible. His character’s make no apologies, and I’d ask for none. I can go on. I can list a dozen more books that people need to read, but that’s what my blog, Elitist Book Reviews, is for. It’s a pretty awesome review blog, if I do say so. Do yourself a favor and go read all the Hugo Nominated works. If you don’t like them, that’s OK. If you love them all, that’s awesome. Once you’ve finished those books, go read some more. Take my recommendations or those of your friends and family. And when you find that book or author that gets you excited, share that with everyone you know.

  • 1: for Me, It Was Personal Names with Too Many of the Letter "Q"
    1: For me, it was personal names with too many of the letter "q", "z", or "x". With apostrophes. Big indicator of "call a rabbit a smeerp"; and generally, a given name turns up on page 1... 2: Large scale conspiracies over large time scales that remain secret and don't fall apart. (This is not *explicitly* limited to SF, but appears more often in branded-cyberpunk than one would hope for a subgenre borne out of Bruce Sterling being politically realistic in a zine.) Pretty much *any* form of large-scale space travel. Low earth orbit, not so much; but, human beings in tin cans going to other planets within the solar system is an expensive multi-year endevour that is unlikely to be done on a more regular basis than people went back and forth between Europe and the americas prior to steam ships. Forget about interstellar travel. Any variation on the old chestnut of "robots/ais can't be emotional/creative". On the one hand, this is realistic because human beings have a tendency for othering other races with beliefs and assumptions that don't hold up to any kind of scrutiny (see, for instance, the relatively common belief in pre-1850 US that black people literally couldn't feel pain). On the other hand, we're nowhere near AGI right now and it's already obvious to everyone with even limited experience that AI can be creative (nothing is more creative than a PRNG) and emotional (since emotions are the least complex and most mechanical part of human experience and thus are easy to simulate).

Falling into History: The ImaginedWests of Kim Stanley Robinson in the "Three Californias" and Mars Trilogies Carl Abbott California science fiction writer Kim Stanley Robinson has imagined the future of Southern California in three novels published 1984-1990, and the settle ment of Mars in another trilogy published 1993-1996. In framing these narratives he worked in explicitly historical terms and incorporated themes and issues that characterize the "new western history" of the 1980s and 1990s, thus providing evidence of the resonance of that new historiography. .EDMars is Kim Stanley Robinson's R highly praised science fiction novel published in 1993.1 Its pivotal section carries the title "Falling into History." More than two decades have passed since permanent human settlers arrived on the red planet in 2027, and the growing Martian communities have become too complex to be guided by simple earth-made plans or single individuals.

  • KRUUNUSILLAT International Design Competition a Brief Outline of the Competition 20.2.2013 Kruunusillat
    KRUUNUSILLAT INTERNATIONAL DESIGN COMPETITION A BRIEF OUTLINE OF THE COMPETITION 20.2.2013 KRUUNUSILLAT • Kruunusillat is a traffic connection currently being designed for linking maritime Kruunuhaka and the future island district of Kruunuvuorenranta. • The competition area is situated between Kalasatama and Kruunuvuorenranta. • Kruunusillat is meant for trams, cyclists and pedestrians. • The bridge connection would significantly shorten the distance between Helsinki city centre and Kruunuvuorenranta. • The competition will be held to ascertain what kinds of options exist. • As a result of the competition, information will be obtained for assessing the traffic connection’s environmental impact. • The competition is international because we want the world’s top experts for this challenging task. • The connection will be situated in the middle of a national landscape. The bridge connection must be of high aesthetic quality and should be appropriate for the landscape and natural environment. • The design has to be safe in all weather conditions and it must enable a free, unobstructed flow of traffic. The City of Helsinki wants to favour sustainable forms of traffic, such as rail transport, and improve the standard of service of public transport. The bridge connection proposal meets this requirement. The bridge connection would also enhance provisions for pedestrian traffic and cycling. 2 KRUUNUSILLAT International design competition The City of Helsinki will hold an international design competition for Kruunusillat. The aim is to attract the world’s best bridge experts here to design the new tram, cycle and pedestrian connection between centrally located Kalasatama and Laajasalo’s Kruunuvuorenranta. The bridge connection would be made up of at least two bridges, the longest of which could be, at nearly 1.2 kilometres, the longest in Finland.

  • Affective Reading in Margery Kempe, Petrarch, Chaucer, and Modern Fan Communities
    Immature Pleasures: Affective Reading in Margery Kempe, Petrarch, Chaucer, and Modern Fan Communities by Anna Patricia Wilson A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of PhD in Medieval Studies Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Anna Wilson 2015 ii Immature Pleasures: Affective Reading in Margery Kempe, Petrarch, Chaucer, and Modern Fan Communities Anna Patricia Wilson PhD Medieval Studies Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto 2015 Abstract This thesis explores the ideological significance of immaturity to several late medieval texts that focus on the conjunction between reading and feeling. Using examples from modern fanfiction to help theorize affective reception (that is, reading and response that privileges feeling), this thesis argues that approaching medieval texts with a ‘fannish hermeneutics’ highlights how ideas of age and temporality structure relationships between reader and text across late medieval reading communities. In particular it examines how Margery Kempe, Petrarch, and Chaucer performed, resisted and played with the idea of immature reading in their texts. For each author, an immature relationship with texts becomes a space of inappropriate desires and emotional excess, ambivalence, anxiety, and subversive power. Although these authors moved in different intellectual communities, all interacted with a shared cultural ideology of immaturity and reading that emerged primarily from monastic theories of reading and worship from the twelfth to fourteenth centuries. This study argues for the centrality of a ‘fannish hermeneutics’ to this reading tradition in Chapters One and Two, and in Chapters Three and Four further argues Petrarch’s debt to this same tradition of affective piety.
