Chapter 311 Hugo Award

In Paris, France, the office of the Hugo Award World Science Fiction Prize selection committee.

Many judges had copies of "The Diamond Age," "Deadly Magic," and "Anomalies" published by Random by their sides.

According to the preliminary general membership vote, these three works were welcomed by middle-aged and elderly novel enthusiasts, short story enthusiasts, and young novel enthusiasts, respectively.

Now, the destination of this year's science fiction literary crown was to be determined by many renowned scholars and university professors.

"I was going to choose this work, but the author suddenly announced his withdrawal," said the head of the literature department at Oxford University, while collecting "The Diamond Age" from the table.

"So, is this year's Hugo Award going to be given to a short story?" a judge asked.

"Don't we still have 'Anomalies'?" said a newly appointed young judge, shrugging his shoulders.
