Flutterby™! : Science Fiction Double Feature

Oh snap: Accenture Statement of Work Wins Hugo Award For Science Fiction

Martin Fitzwater, President of the Hugo Awards, had this to say. “The best science fiction captures what is possible but not currently achievable and makes the reader suspend disbelief long enough to feel like they are really living in a world where these things are indeed possible. This SOW checks all of those boxes. It’s a riveting tale of one company’s journey to utilize Artificial Intelligence, machine learning, Cloud technologies, python, data science and blockchain to achieve business value, mostly for Accenture. Its powerful prose has its executive readership literally on the edge of their seats, eager to sign a Purchase Order immediately in order to be one with this fantasy world. Truthfully, we debated whether this rightly belonged in the Fantasy category because there are indeed elements of magic in there. However, the lack of dragons, swords or castles really tipped it in favor of science fiction.”
