Congrats to everone involved!
Im surprised by the choice of Greg Bear- obviosly a good author, but not the first name I would think of? Of course I dont know the background of this award/choice and would welcome further info 🙂
Best Artist “Sharks Den” has an interesting take on Binti: http://sharksden.deviantart.com/art/Binti-622991325
Cover for the Chinese version.
I’d rather like to see The Physics of the Three Body Problem.
I think Greg Bear’s Eon trilogy has recently been published in Chinese. If Three Body is very popular in China, I can see Eon going down very well as well.
