At long, long last, SCI-FI London begins today, the winner of the Arthur C Clarke Award will be announced on Wednesday, and we have a winner for the Guess-the-Clarke Shortlist contest!
Thanks to the generosity of the Clarke Award, the winner will receive a copy of every book on the shortlist.
Three entries, submitted by Nicholas Whyte, Duncan Lawie, and Kenny Lucius, tied for first place, with four correct guesses each. For comparative purposes, I note that all three correctly guessed Embassytown and Rule 34.
Contest judge Tom Hunter has drawn the winning name from the hat… and the winner is Duncan Lawie!
