I'll have to read that. I have it, but haven't gotten to it yet.

I read The First Fifteen Lives Of Harry August, which I really enjoyed. Didn't know it just came out, or that it was up for this award.

I've only read one of those. Though I rarely read short stories.

Prometheus Award Winner 2015

www.lfs.org/releases/2015Winners.shtml
The Libertarian Futurist Society has announced that Daniel Suarez’ novel Influx has won the Prometheus Award for Best Novel (of 2015).

The award will be presented Friday afternoon Aug. 21 during Sasquan, the 73rd annual World Science Fiction Convention August 19-23, 2015 in Spokane, Washington.

...

The Prometheus awards, sponsored by the Libertarian Futurist Society (LFS), honor outstanding science fiction/fantasy that explores the possibilities of a free future, champions human rights (including personal and economic liberty), dramatizes the perennial conflict between individuals and coercive governments, or critiques the tragic consequences of abuse of power - especially by the State.

The Prometheus Award was established by novelist L. Neil Smith in 1979, making it one of the most enduring awards after the Nebula and Hugo awards, and one of the oldest fan-based awards currently in sf. Presented annually since 1982 at the World Science Fiction Convention, the Prometheus Awards include a gold coin and plaque for the winners.
