Ya conocemos al ganador del premio John W. Campbell de este año la novela The Genius Plague de David Walton.
La ceremonia de entrega tuvo lugar el día 22 de junio y el jurado dijo esto:
Harry Harrison and Brian Aldiss established the award to honor the late editor of Astounding Science Fiction magazine (now Analog), and continue his efforts to encourage writers to produce their best work. Many consider Campbell – who edited the magazine and guided its authors from 1937 until his death in 1971 – the father of modern SF.
