"Hugo Award Winner" printed on a cover used to send the message 'this is quality science fiction'. Now it sends the message that 'this is total propeganda'.

I consider it a warning label.

My book club has been reading classic dystopian scifi the past 9 months.

Imho there was one outstanding SF movie—”Arrival”—made in 2016.

It is based on Ted Chiang’s classic short story—”The Story of Your Life”.

Amazing stuff...

Because it’s true.

Absolutely. Vance invented words when the narrative required. Grus, lucomorphs and the like. There was no one like him.
