An excerpt from Hoyt\u2019s acceptance speech:<\/strong>
\n\u201cI wrote Darkship Thieves because I was furious. Right about the time that cloning started being talked about, I expected and wasn\u2019t disappointed, to see the spate of books coming out, about how cloning was a bad thing… I expected the dystopian view. What I also expected but didn\u2019t like was the fact that the tone of all these novels was, \u201cthere ought to be a law,” Hoyt said.
\n“And the fact that all these corruptions of the technology were envisioned as happening as if society were \u201cfree,\u201d and people were able to do this. And that made me furious.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
