The 90% of individual voters are swamped and overwhelmed by the 10% of slate voters. This means a slate needs to come up with about 10% of the nominating votes to sweep every category. But slate voters agree to vote on the same five nominees for each category. In normal voting everyone reads different stuff and has different tastes, so no one work will receive more than maybe 10% of the nominating votes. Wright is taking up three of the five slots for Best Novella. In the most egregious example, slate author John C. In some of the categories, every single slot was taken up by a slate listing. I let more timely and voluminous readers take care it for me, and looked over the nominees and winners for reading ideas.īut this year, slates entered the picture in a big way. I haven't ever done this before (even though I have been reading scifi and fantasy all my life) because I never felt like I read enough scifi and fantasy (and particularly in the year it was released) to have an educated opinion. This entitles me to vote on this year's Hugo nominees and nominate works next year. Josh has decisions to make.Like many others, I was horrified enough by the slate nominating that went on this year to pay my $40 and becoming a supporting member of Worldcon. (Some of them, at least.) A threat is looming, and with it an ultimatum. What's the one thing you should've packed? Josh could be forgiven for being a little forgetful.
Brobots Book 2: You're a robot man living in 2060's America. What they, and their allies, must do is work out who, and why before it gets too late. But it's all too easy for others to take advantage of those who live on the edge. But they're not so easy to ignore especially the ones experiencing "the wake up." The idea was that they could work hidden in society's plain sight, allowing humanity time to get used to the fact of sentient machines. Brobots is substantial science fiction with gay characters told across three continuous books.
