Response to Spider Robinson on the State of Sci-Fi

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the future-is-now dept.

Garund writes "A day or so ago Slashdot posted a story on Spider Robinson and his lament for Science Fiction. Well, other people, including Mark Oakley, publisher of one of my favorite independant comics, posted a response to Spider on his Thieves & Kings website (scroll about a third of the way down the page). Interesting take on it, I thought."

    Could you throw in a few of the main points he was responding to, and maybe a summary of the response?

    Only one of those books/concepts mentioned is actually conceivable given the current global context.

    I imagine you probably buy into the "benevolent savage" myth

    Quite the opposite. I believe all of us are descended from savages who have been most malevolent at some stage or another.
    Sometimes I'm not even sure we've really risen above it.
