Want to know what the ‘best’ stuff is in scifi for the past year?
Look no further than the 2010 Hugo Awards.
The Hugo Award was named in honor of Hugo Gernsback, “The Father of Magazine Science Fiction,”. The award is is given annually by the World Science Fiction Society (WSFS) at the World Science Fiction Convention (Worldcon).
