Query: This won the Hugo?

While chock-full of interesting ideas, the story drudges along through a morass of overly expressed adverbs and adjectives without any real benefit to the plotting. Not to mention, the story as a whole is really a compilation of six 30-page expositional short stories loosely tied together by an additional 100 pages of story set in the "present". The author also overly uses sex and descriptive references to human fluids in what feels like a contrived attempt to lend interest to the story. It was only through pure will that I made it through this book (and the fact that behind all the garbage, the background ideas are quite interesting). For those looking for an interesting jaunt through sci-fi check out some works by Orson Scott Card, David Brin, William Gibson, or Robert Heinlen. This book just isn't worth the time, IMHO.
