	Arguing over the Arthur C. Clarke Award (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The comparison between the Booker Prize and the Arthur C. Clarke Award is worth making, not just because the two are structured the same way (as surprisingly few other genre awards are), but also because they seem to share a similar development.
		The Clarke Award’s history of controversy and recognition is somewhat abbreviated, at least within the sf world, but in terms of wider awareness it is at almost exactly the same place that the Booker was at the same age.
		That’s one of the reasons the Arthur C. Clarke Award is important: it keeps science fiction vital by keeping the discussion alive.
