Added: 2026-05-24

[00:00:00]Today, we're going to look at the 1966 Hugo Awards because I am Daisy X Machina, the drag queen detective who investigates all things speculative and science fiction, fantasy, and horror.

[00:00:14]This is a series where I look at Hugo Awards from yesteryear to find you authors and books that I've never heard of or read before. The 1966 Hugo Award nominees are Dune by Frank Herbert, Skylark Duquesne by E. E. Doc Smith, The Squares of the City by John Brunner, The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress by Robert A. Heinlein, and This Immortal by Roger Zelazny.

[00:00:53]And the winner is a tie between Dune by Frank Herbert and This Immortal by Roger Zelazny, originally published as and called Be Conrad.
