Comments: The 2013 slate of Clarke Award nominees was entirely male. I note this because it may be the first time this has happened. Coming on the heels of the win for the Testament of Jessie Lamb in 2012, this exclusively male ballot suggests the possibility that British science fiction publishing is moving in a non-egalitarian direction. I'm not prepared to accept this as true just yet, but when coupled together, they do form the beginnings of a disturbing picture.
