Sea of Tranquilityby Emily St. John Mandel (Goodreads Author)
In another encouraging triumph for literary sci-fi, Emily St. John Mandel takes home her first award for the year’s best book about time travel, lunar colonization, and Vancouver Island circa 1912. Well, the only book. But still. With stories like this and Station Eleven, Mandel is mapping new territories in 21st-century speculative fiction.
