Or maybe Hunter is correct, and this list does indeed represent the state of SF today, rather than, say, just representing the taste of a judging panel who all happen to like reading alt-now/near-future thrillery adventure stories. Don't worry, since this jury saw fit to exclude Ian McDonald's Brasyl from considertion, it certainly doesn't represent the full state of SF today. The best books published in SF last year are not on the Clarke shortlist. This would be alarming for the future of the Clarke award, if not for the case that next year fortunately will see a different jury..

Paul: with great pleasure. I'll email you.

Darren: you blush most prettily. Hmm. That's not very manly, is it ...

Aw shucks! Darn it Roberts, now you got me blushin'... :o

But thank you very much. It's been a blast, and I hope to remain a friend for a long time to come.

[Quick say something manly that has nothing to do with feelings and stuff...]

I'd be more than happy - nay, privileged - to run your Clarke Award review at Futurismic, Mr Roberts. Drop me a line if you're interested!
