A SF/F book collection from Humble Bundle

Tachyon Books releasing twenty books for $18 in PDF, epub, and Mobi format, featuring Brandon Sanderson, Bruce Sterling, and a host of other authors, male and female. Most of the books are novels, there are a few short story collections. A couple of the books I absolutely will not touch, but a lot of them look quite interesting. And at less than a buck per, certainly a good deal.
As usual, no DRM.
The charity for this bundle is Gameheads, described as: "We are a tech training program that uses video game design, development and DevOps to create diverse talent and bold new voices, train youth of color for the tech eco-system, and prepare them for college, career and civic life. Teaching areas include: Project management, art and animation, software development and programming fundamentals, project management, game design, level design, video game history/theory and more." Sounds like a worthwhile charity to me! You can adjust the percentage of your purchase for how much goes to the charity with sliders, personally I try to split it into rough thirds.
This bundle just launched today and will be up for another twenty days.

It costs $50, but you get downloads for all, or at least most, of the books nominated for the Hugo Awards! It's a great way to meet new authors and their best new works. Twelve different categories, five or six nominees per. Not all of them are books. But lots of cool stuff, and you get to vote for the winners! I'll post about it later in the year.
