	Prometheus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Prometheus was a son of Iapetus by Clymene (one of the Oceanids).
		Prometheus was suspicious and would have nothing to do with Pandora, claiming that she was foolish (lacking foresight), and she was sent on to Epimetheus, who married her.
		In mythography, Prometheus may be classed among the trickster gods, such as Loki in Norse mythology Like Prometheus, Loki is a giant rather than a god, is associated with fire, and is punished by being chained to a rock and tormented by an animal (a viper dripping venom on him).

	Article: Reason, Sexuality, and the Self in Libertarian Science Fiction Novels, by Greg Beatty
		The Prometheus Award is given to the "best libertarian novel of the year." The best "examinations of freedom" -- a term which could include challenges to it, rejections of it, or positing proper limits for it -- will be found specifically in libertarian science fiction.
		The Prometheus award, however, stands for "free trade and free minds," reducing free mental activity to that of economic man in the marketplace, and equating free trade (whatever its motives) with freedom, and with rebellion against moral tyranny, conveniently ignoring the offense against property rights committed by Prometheus.
		If I had to summarize my objections to the majority of the Prometheus Award winners, there would be three: they repeat the past, thinly disguised, in the future; they assume that the nature of freedom is unchanging; and they naturalize the social contexts in which classical liberalism arose (assuming the family, heterosexuality, etc.).

		The award's Web site says that the award is given to "science fiction or fantasy that explores and expands the roles of women and men," but that general statement, which could mean anything, tends to be focused on issues of gender and gender identity.

	Tell Me a Story
		For the Hall of Fame award, Hans Christian Andersen won for his "The Emperor's New Clothes." Even though this story is nearly one-hundred-seventy years old, its message of citizens so frightened and brainwashed that they distort their perceptions of reality in order to please their ruler is still timely.
		The Prometheus Award ceremony itself was both exciting and disappointing.
		It was disappointing in that fewer than two-dozen people out of those five-thousand-plus Chicon attendees thought the awarding of the Prometheus plaque and gold coin worth the time and effort to attend.

		Wooster is way off the mark, though, if he thinks that the LFS counts up the number of impacted statist derrieres in nominated novels then awards the Prometheus to the one with the biggest bootie count.
		Although any annual award varies with the range of each year's eligible entries, and any judging/voting system inevitably reflects differing opinions, the Society sifts through an enormous amount of bad or mediocre "libertarian sf" every year in the hope of finding a few gems.
