Locus Magazine has published its annual roundup of the top science fiction of 2008. As with every year, this is a fabulous starting point for anyone who wants to get up to speed with what the field has on its mind these days -- there's a lot of breadth and gusto in these selections. What's more, they were kind enough to select three of my works for inclusion: Little Brother (Best Young Adult), The Things That Make Me Weak and Strange Get Engineered Away (Best Novelette) and True Names (with Benjamin Rosenbaum, Best Novella). Happy reading!

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.
