181904, Yo if Cixin Liu wins...

I think I just realized how badly I want that to happen after reading this piece on him in the New Yorker - http://www.newyorker.com/books/page-turner/chinas-arthur-c-clarke

Like if this red commie wins how these sad puppies gonna react? I'd anticipate uproar but the crazy thing is that it's the exact type of Sci-Fi they should be championing.

Being honest I enjoyed the book conceptually, but I think some of the affect of it got lost in translation which causes it to suffer slightly. It was better than Annihilation but not better than Ancillary Sword.
