• (Clarke Award) Clarke Award Finalists 2004

    From James Nicoll@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jul 7 14:26:23 2025
    2004: Labour spares no effort to liberate Britons from human rights,
    UKIP's electoral successes surely do not reflect fundamental flaws
    in the British psyche, and London voters are heartbroken to discover
    the Livingstone who was just elected mayor isn't the Livingstone
    who co-wrote the Fighting Fantasy books.

    Which 2004 Clarke Award Finalists Have You Read?
    Quicksilver by Neal Stephenson
    Coalescent by Stephen Baxter
    Darwin's Children by Greg Bear
    Maul by Tricia Sullivan
    Midnight Lamp by Gwyneth Jones
    Pattern Recognition by William Gibson

    All but the Jones, whose books never clicked with me. To be fair,
    about the only book on that list I'd recommend is the Gibson.
