The finalists for this year's Hugo Awards have been announced; here are the Best Novel finalists:
Black Sun, Rebecca Roanhorse (Gallery / Saga Press)
The City We Became, N.K. Jemisin (Orbit)
Harrow the Ninth, Tamsyn Muir (Tor.com)
Network Effect, Martha Wells (Tor.com)
Piranesi, Susanna Clarke (Bloomsbury)
The Relentless Moon, Mary Robinette Kowal (Tor Books)
Piranesi and Network Effect are very good, in my opinion; I haven't read the others yet. I read last year's Best Novel ballot and by and large it was quite good; I suspect this year's batch also will turn out to be good.
The Libertarian Futurist Society -- I am a member -- also has announced its slate of finalists, for the Prometheus Award, here they are:
Who Can Own the Stars? by Mackey Chandler
Storm between the Stars, by Karl K. Gallagher
The War Whisperer, Book 5: The Hook, Barry Longyear
Braintrust: Requiem, by Marc Stiegler
Heaven's River, by Dennis E. Taylor
More information on the finalists and the awards at the two links; my personal favorite among the Prometheus Awards nominees, Situation Normal by Leonard Richardson, did not become a finalist.

I have not kept up with Tor's evolution - how did they come to be in the book publishing business? Very cool.
