    It's very odd how I seem to have read or seen far more of the works
    that have been around for decades than works where I need to have
    read them in the last year. I blame the Thor Power Tools decision.

    Not a one. I've heard of a couple of them, I don't own any, I didn't
    even bother to download the Hugo voter's packet that year so I don't
    know which of them were nominated for the Other Award. (I wish I
    could say that I knew in advance that Chengdu's Hugos would be a
    shitshow, but that wasn't the case. I think the packet was very late
    getting released and I just didn't bother.)

    I read the prequel, and might yet read this.

    This is the first in a little while where I was entirely shut out.
