2013 Nebula Award winners

Locus has the winners of the 2013 Nebula Awards up:

  • Ancillary Justice, Ann Leckie
  • “The Weight of the Sunrise”, Vylar Kaftan
  • “The Waiting Stars”, Aliette de Bodard
  • If You Were a Dinosaur, My Love, Rachel Swirsky

Which makes for a clean female sweep of the main awards; has that ever happened before?

As for special awards:

  • Damon Knight Grand Master Award: Samuel R. Delany
  • Andre Norton Award for Young Adult Science Fiction and Fantasy Book: Sister Mine, Nalo Hopkinson
  • Kevin O’Donnell Jr. Service to SFWA Award: Michael Armstrong
  • Ray Bradbury Award for Outstanding Dramatic Presentation: Gravity

Great to see Ancillary Justice has won, I still think it should win the Hugo too despite all the shenanigans this year. What it has in its favour is that it combines traditional science fiction values (worldbuilding! infodumps! action! adventure!) with a bit of intellectual heft.

    Read Ancillary Justice the other day. Deserves all the awards it can get, plus a few more for luck.
