So, the Hugo Awards are held in China this year and it turns out the Chinese government leaned on the Hugo Awards to exclude authors from it that they didn't like.
Talk about gutting your own reputation and letting a censorious government dictate and censor the awards. More info here: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2024/ ... ng-authors --- Jack of all trades and destructive tinkerer. Anyone who have simple solutions for complex problems is a fool. |

The controversy damaged the Hugo Awards' reputation. Many felt it undermined the integrity of the awards and raised concerns about future awards held in countries with censorship. It's a complex situation, but it definitely highlighted the importance of the Hugo Awards remaining independent and true to their values. |
