Premios Hugo 2017

Con un poco de retraso desde el anuncio de los ganadores de los premios Hugo aqui os traigo la lista de categorias con los nominados y los galardonados. Llama la atención que en contrapunto a las polémicas de hace una par de años promovidas por grupos de ideas misoginas y un tanto racistas camuflados en un manto de clasicismo y vuelta a los orígenes, los ganadores de las ultimas ediciones han ido variando en su cariz y temáticas, y este año todos los premios principales han sido concedidos a mujeres. Y para mas curiosidades la ganadora de este año en novela,The Obelisk Gate, es la continuación de la galardonada el año pasado, La Quinta Estación, publicada por Nova.  Editorial, que también publicara en breve Death´s End, nominada este año a mejor novela y que es la  tercera y ultima parte de la trilogía de los tres cuerpos de Cixin Liu. Y otra de las novelas finalistas de la que se a anunciado su pronta publicación, en este caso por Insolita Editorial, es Todos los pájaros del cielo de  Charlie Jane Anders, la cual tiene muy buenas reseñas. Así que este año podemos estar bastante satisfechos todos aquellos que aun no leemos en ingles..
