I see Rob is of the "be rude to more successful authors for attention" school of brand development.

She won a Hugo. In the current year, that's a pretty damning indictment.

Care to elaborate? I can't imagine the mental gymnastics you have to go through to think winning a literary award is "damnable."

It is when that award has become a farce. Bookworm and SF fan for many many decades here. Likely longer than you’ve been alive. Hugo award winner went from “must buy” to “avoid, it’s likely dreck.”

Yep. Redshirts? LOL Ancillary Justice? Three Body Problem? Anything by N. K. Jemisin? So much in-group garbage.

I liked Three Body Problem. My favorite part is I was able to have a really interesting conversation with a Chinese friend about it. Haven't read Ancillary Justice or Jemisin, but I agree that Redshirts didn't deserve the honor.

Also: I actually agree with New SF people that classic sci fi often had stilted characters/relationships. That's why I don't like Scalzi--his characters always talk and think like 2018 fandom-Internet people.

I can see that. Whedon's better at it, though. His same-y dialogue is funnier, and many of his characters more distinct.
