Linkcandescence

• Everyone’s seen this, but whee! Dollhouse trailer.
• Abigail Nussbaum finishes her review of the Hugo short fiction with the novellas
• Cheryl Morgan on what should have won the Tiptree Award
• David Hines on why Sarah Connor needs better guns
• Nic Clarke on The Yiddish Policemen’s Union
• Paul McAuley on choosing the right final sentence for an sf novel
• And Matt Cheney on Paul McAuley’s Fairyland
• Gwenda Bond interviews David Schwartz (author of the forthcoming Superpowers)
• A discussion of Michael Swanwick’s The Dragons of Babel (and John Clute’s review thereof)
• Johanna Sinisalo will be writing Iron Sky. I am slightly boggled.
• Next year’s Worldcon, Anticipation, wants your program suggestions
• Simon Bisson reports from FiRe about Bruce Sterling’s four possible worlds
• Guardian: Steven Poole reviews The Gone-Away World, and Blake Morrison reviews Alfred and Emily
• Matt Cheney discusses Little Brother. Nancy Kress offers a (slightly) more dissenting view of the book, and there are concerns about the plotting here
• To finish in the same vein as I began: I know I’m not the only person whose reaction to the Doctor Who trailer was THE STARS ARE GOING OUT ONE BY ONE! OVERHEAD, QUIETLY! Right?
