I’m not sure if it’s the effect of (gestures vaguely) everything that’s going on in the world lately, but the short story finalists for this year’s Hugo Awards are all kinda dark. The six entries feature death, monsters, murder, bloody revolution, not one but two examples of state-sanctioned torture, and a reading lesson from an
“Well, sir,” he said. “Of all the death cases to be your first, I wouldn’t much like it being this one.” Dinios Kol has only been working as an Iudex Investigator’s assistant (apprentice-level) for four months, but even years of experience wouldn’t have prepared him for his first murder case.

The Binary System Podcast team has been getting a little better at TV lately, but we’re still three years late in watching Station Eleven (based on the best-selling book that Kathryn reviewed way back in 2014). Fortunately, younger sister Hannah was visiting last weekend and we needed a topic to discuss so she could do
I swear I’m not doing this on purpose, but the next three Hugo-nominated novelettes also have a theme, and this one is loneliness. It can be a lifelong estrangement between siblings, or a solitary magic-user having to deal with a disability without anyone finding out about it (or else), or something that’s actually called the
