About this quiz
The Hugo Awards are presented each year at the World Science Fiction Convention. The first Best Novel award went to Alfred Bester's The Demolished Man in 1953.
- There are 75 winners in the pool, from 1953 to 2026, and each round deals 12.
- The decade is that of the award year, which is usually the year after the book came out.
- A wrong pick shows the right decade and the year, and the round goes on.
