“The Boom & The Boom” by Guangzhao Lyu Longlisted for Prestigious Locus and BSFA Awards

Peter Lang Group is delighted to announce that “The Boom & The Boom,” has been longlisted for both the esteemed Locus and BSFA Awards for non-fiction. This double nomination underscores the book’s significant contribution to the critical discourse surrounding science fiction.

“The Boom & The Boom”, part of our World Science Fiction Studies series, offers a compelling comparative study of the recent science fiction renaissances in the UK and China. Author Guangzhao Lyu expertly places these “booms” within the context of the transformative political and cultural landscapes of both countries.

The Locus Awards are highly regarded within the science fiction and fantasy community. Similarly, the BSFA Awards, presented by the British Science Fiction Association, carry considerable weight and prestige.

Peter Lang Group is immensely proud of this dual longlisting, which recognizes the book’s scholarly excellence, insightful analysis, and engaging narrative. We extend our congratulations to Guangzhao Lyu on this well-deserved achievement.
