2017 Hugo Awards Recommendations: What should I read/watch?

2017 is here, and that means it’s time to ask for recommendations for the Hugo Awards. Sadly, I have not been able to read nearly as much from 2016 as I would have liked, so I expect this to be one hell of a reading session for me! So, suggest some things! I’m looking for […]
