2017: The UK staggers towards Brexit like a drunk searching in dense
fog for an open pub, the first Murderbot novel is published, and
an extrasolar comet is seen traversing the Solar System.

Three of those titles were up for Hugos in 2017, which was the first
year that I actually bought a membership to a Worldcon.[1] I bought
Ninefox Gambit earlier in the year, on somenoday's -- maybe even
James's -- recommendation, and I actually carried it with my to
Helsinki, but never finished it. I still have my voter's packet, and
I notice in retrospect that Jemisin('s publisher) only provided an
excerpt.

Four of these were also on the Hugo shortlist. I have been meaning to
read the McGuire for, ummm, seven years now. (The way I've always
done the Hugo reading is to start with the shorter stuff, because the
voter packet comes out so close to the deadline that there's no way I
could read more than one unfamiliar novel in that time. So I tend to
make it all the way through the short stories and then get stuck.)
[1] This was a not-quite-last-minute decision. 2017 was the centenary
of Finland's independence, and the Finnish state provided support to
bring numerous itinerant international events to the country. I went
to the World Figure Skating Championships in March of that year, and
when I later learned that the Worldcon was in practically the same
place (almost across the street from the train station at the arena) I
felt comfortable enough with the travel arrangements I had made in
March to commit to going back in August. I did not buy the membership
with the intent of voting in the Hugos and was pleasantly surprised to
learn about the voter packet.
