You are not provoking anything at all. Read back to the beginning of this thread, and you will see that more than just you and I were very disappointed in this year's nominees. But last year when they were first published, things all around the world were going to heck in a handbasket, and music and lit always mirror such things. I haven't seen any evidence that this year's crop of new stories is going to be any better. Except for Little Brother, in my opinion, the rest were just the best of what was available.
Usually, being labeled a Hugo nominee or winner made it something I had to read. In fact, when the list came out this year, I got ahold of all of them, books, novellas, short stories, introductions, and post-it notes, and read them all. They were very discouraging politically and none really moved me. I'm wondering what will happen next year when the list comes out?
