4.0 out of 5 stars
dealing with sf as seriously as it probably deserves,
By A Customer
This review is from: Look at the Evidence: Essays & Reviews (Paperback)
Here John Clute goes for broke. This collection of his more recent ('80s for the most part) sf criticism is easier on the vocabulary than his earlier, and often deeply annoying, writings for New Worlds magazine. It still, however, comes at you as though he thinks the world should make sense, and the device for this revelation should be sf. Complex, often very funny (see the demolition of The Legacy of Heorot by Niven/Pornelle and friends) but essentially spot on. If you like sf and are worried about its transformation into a branch of marketing science you should read this.
