"The only nomination so far is a Swedish porn flick that is only
incidentally SF. The group that nominated that one want to embarrass
the organization into re-abolishing the award. It's a very sorry

Never have I seen a group that writes about technology so
frightened of a form of technological storytelling. They're the writer-
equivilents of Luddites. (Meaning the ones pulling this crap.)
