The Nebula Awards

The Nebula Awards: "are annual awards presented by Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America to celebrate excellence in science fiction and fantasy writing."

No surprise. The Windup Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi won the best novel. I'll add it to my reading list. From what little I've read the book is set in a world where the planet's bio-diversity has been seriously reduced due to corporate genetic manipulation and food becomes scarce? Does corporate greed force mankind to evolve?

I look forward to seeing how it compares to China Mieville's The City & The City: a world where two cities seemingly occupy the same space.
