Some nice Fast Foward 2 reviews
Tobias Buckell Online — ... Emily, as well as the Acer Aspire One that I snagged via Amazon. As I’ve been doing that, some interesting Fast Forward 2 nods were forwarded to me by Lou Anders: First up is a nice nod from Cory Doctorow at Boing Boing at the story Karl Schroeder and I co-wrote for the anthology. That leaves me 2 for 2 with Cory, as he wrote this awesome review of Sly Mongoose while I was in the hospital that was cheering. Futurismic’s Paul Raven also reviewed FF2, and had this to say about the story: “Mitigation” by ...

It was quite an easy review to write in some respects, because there was something positive to say about almost every story. ...

Hugo Nominee: “The Gambler”
Torque Control — ... righteousness. Search for identity is always compelling, though, when handled adeptly, and that is certainly the case in this piece. “True Names,” “Molly’s Kids” and “The Gambler” all make comments of varying seriousness on generational succession. “The Gambler” does so most eloquently by having the protagonist explicitly recognize how he is following in his father’s ideological footsteps. Paul Raven, at Futurismic: With “The Gambler“, Paolo Bacigalupi steps out of the niche that ...

Hugo Nominee: “True Names”
Torque Control — ... collection, a magnificent display of pre-existing ideas arranged in fabulous geometries and twisted into pleasing, recombinant strategies of exuberance, only lacking the one arresting moment of originality that can take our breath away. This might seem like a strange claim on my part. Perhaps “True Names” is so Far Out, in setting, that I found myself not caring sufficiently about how Far Out it was. Not even the Solipsist’s Lemma could save me. Paul Raven: By dint of sheer size alone, the centrepiece of Fast Forward ...
