The Hugo Award is widely considered the top award in the fields of science fiction and fantasy. The award itself is named after Hugo Gernsback, the founder of the magazine Amazing Stories, the pioneer of science fiction magazines. The awards are given each year by the World Science Fiction Society and voted on by the members of the society.
Hugos were first presented in 1953 and have been presented every year since 1955. Originally there were seven categories. The number of categories and the categories themselves have varied over the years. Currently there are seventeen categories. One category that has been present all along is Best Novel. I have compiled a complete list of the novels to win this award. Because of the length of the list, I have broken in up into several posts, one for each decade that the award has been given. Here are the links to the various posts:
