I'm nearing the end of my series of Hugo Awards discussion posts -- this one's a short one for a change, covering just two categories. As always feel free to join in the discussion in the comments, where I will set up a dedicated thread for each award category. You're welcome to interpret this call for discussion in any way, whether that's setting out how you're planning to vote, offering your thoughts on a single finalist, or something else entirely.
The finalists are as follows:
