This book was a fun (if a bit slow) read, but I don't see it as a Hugo-award winning book. It's science fiction in the same way as historical fiction is science fiction. It provides an alternate universe placed in a what-if scenario, all wrapped into a boring detective story--at the end, when the big murderer reveal takes place, I had forgotten that there was still an outstanding mystery. It could be I'm just jealous, but I don't get it even though I like his writing.
