    ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs Retweeted Pirkka-Joose Sempé 28 5'3''

    One of the biggest problems in SF now is that people don't read the classics, and continue the conversation. They watch movies, play videogames, and read novelizations set in TV and boardgame universes, then write "novels". This is how you get "feather demons".https://twitter.com/pjsempe/status/1293130202768453634 …

    WRT to your thread about the Hugos, he wrote that one of the first things an aspiring writer should do is do its homework aka Read the Classics of the genre, giving multiple lists of different waves of SF/Fantasy and saying: pick a book of some names in each list and read them.

        The farther back they go, the better. Tolkien read Beowulf and so on; Terry Brooks and Stephen R Donaldson read Tolkien. Bob Dylan listens to old blues and reads Shakespeare.

        Yeah. I had another discussion with a friend today about how D&D has a massive influence over all fantasy, and game design, including, video games (including sci-fi), and thus as you describe; the feedback loop into books. There's a huge disconnect.

        Conversely, a reason I /don't/ write SF is I've read so much & have so much more waiting for me that I'm sure the field doesn't need a half-interested attempt which doesn't have anything interesting to add. Their lack of awareness helps them think they have something to say. https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1293134056574652416 …

        This is very true. And in agreement, I got your first book to see if you have any other cromulent ideas.

        Which is too bad. Reading the classics gives you new appreciation for those movies and games. Especially the games as a lot of designers have read those classics.

        Brave New World is one of the best science fiction novels ever written, yet Aldous Huxley's output was mostly not sci-fi.
