Na ovogodišnjoj 76. Svjetskoj znanstveno fantastičnoj konvenciji održanoj u San Joseu posjetitelji konvencije izglasali su pobjednike nagrade Hugo, jedne od najvećih svjetskih žanrovskih nagrada. Najznačajniju nagradu, onu za najbolji roman ponovo je odnijela autorica N.K. Jemisin naslovom The Stone Sky. Riječ je o trećem ramanu iz serijala “Broken Earth“, a zanimljivo je da je da su i prethodna dva romana također osvojila nagradu Hugo.
