I have been to Europe 5 times and never rented a car. I may want to some time, but given the choice between paying more those hypothetical times and somehow learning a skill (for which I don't have easy access to the equipment) to do something I've never _had_ to do in my life, the answer is: me.

Not an answer, ma'am, but consider (searching first and then) asking over at the Sci Fi stack exchange. People over there make answering these kinds of questions a sport.

Hmm I think someone else already suggested Arkady Martine’s “A Memory Called Empire” and “A Desolation Called Peace” — they both spend a lot of time on governance, and they’re excellent reads. Also already mentioned was the Expanse series.

I didn't like the answer, but I got one.
None of the people ruled ineligible this year were afforded that courtesy. They were cursed at.
I wound up getting involved in a process to amend the WSFS Hugo rules so that audiobooks were considered a form of publication the same as print.
