at a convention in washington dc. the hugos are like the nobel prize for sci fi writing. mary robinette kowal is chair of the discon iii event — and a multiple hugo award winner herself — she's nominated for best novel this year. many congratulations on that nomination. the last year, to be perfectly frank, as felt like being trapped inside a dystopian sci—fi novel for everyone. what impact do you think it has had or will have on the tone and the content of this year's event? science—fiction always reflects the zeitgeist of the moment. during the atomic error, that is when we had all of this atomic punk. it's something that you see the golden age of science fiction so i am absolutely certain that we will see a lot of things that are influenced by pandemic, not necessarily pandemic direct lee, but things that reflect the sense of being trapped, of being isolated from ourfriends and family, i am sure that is
