As life-long fans of Science Fiction we were stunned and delighted when we heard that M John Harrison had won the Booker prize for 2026. This marks the first time that a dedicated author in the genre has won this major literary award and is a vindication for all fans like us who insist that Science Fiction isn’t just cowboys in space. Having enjoyed M John Harrison’s Viriconium series and many of his short stories we’ve always respected his style and literary skills. We haven’t read The End Of Everything yet, but we’ll move it to the top of our reading list! 

Congratulations, Mr Harrison!
