Udruženje američkih pisaca f&sf-a (Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America – SFWA) objavilo je nominacije za najznačajniju anglosaksonsku žanrovsku nagradu za djela koja su objavljena u 2014. godini. Nebule će se laureatima dodjeliti na “Nebula Weekendu” koji će se održati u Chicagu od 4. do 7. lipnja. Izbor će zasigurno izazvati reakcije, a mi smo primijetili da još nije otkriven dobitnik titule Grand Master Award. Podsjećamo, prošlogodišnji je dobitnik Samuel R. Delany a to je objavljeno zajedno s nominacijama. Naravno, neke od nominiranih djela kraće forme čitat ćete u nadolazećim Siriusima B, a nakon što bacite pogled na listu, ostavite nam vaš komentar i favorita za nagradu…
