I’m incredibly pleased to discover that the New York Times has finally deigned to form a science fiction book review column. This is long overdue: Science fiction, as we all know, is just as valid a literary form as any other. The first review (link) is of David Marusek’s Counting Heads. You may recall that I reviewed that worthy book myself on the Dragon Page (link).
This is good news, I think. Science fiction’s already conquered television and film. It’s time that the brilliant books that provide all the source material and new ideas for those mostly lousy blockbuster films finally get a little respect.
