I am very much looking forward to the ANTIFRAGILE column! My husband and I both are definitely not, um, mainstream, and we know that as his book list grows and we build an audience, he's going to run afoul of cancel culture eventually. We'll appreciate tips on how to handle that!
If it took a Dragon Award, it was no earlier than 2019; that was the first year they did them, and Brad Torgersen gave me a copy of "Star-Wheeled Sky" unasked-for on my way to Afghanistan. That book was the *first* Dragon Award winner for SF.

Nick's advice is rock solid! I'm glad you're excited!

It won in 2016 for the short-lived Best Apocalyptic Novel category:

I was sure somehow that the awards themselves only started in '19. Huh.
I was wrong. Thanks.
Thank you for the shoutout.
No problem, Edmund! Hope it helps!
If we want to end cancel culture, we must stand together, not kneel together.
