This is a review of two Hugo nominated stories from the issue.
"Fandom for Robots" A nice SF story with nostalgia feel, a clear homage for the 50s. A sentient robot, built in 1954 becomes engaged in modern fandom
"Clearly Lettered in a Mostly Steady Hand" I may be biased but it is the weakest story in the list. May be this is because it is a borderline between SF and horror and I ain't the fan of the latter. The story depict an excursion to a strange exhibition of strange things and raises a question of normal vs abnormal
