      before we can have a row over this someone's gonna have to define the terms 'SF' and 'classic' at least.

      there's kind of a lot of self-stuffed straw men to point to, hypercompetent women with ray guns who live on rocket ships & turn into fawning simpletons who end every sentence with "darling" when a man pays attention to them because the author thinks that is the Nature of Woman

      Sturgeon's law applies. There's still good stuff from the past though, and not much in the present gets my attention, but then I'm biased.

      just unlike the people who think Baen Books is a political party i know the difference between being jerked off and having thought provoked

      I mean, you don't have to go that far back before the very idea that society could be radically different falls away.

      enh, i dunno, maybe the frequency of publication goes down but i don't think the idea of extremely different social organization has ever been that far off the beaten path, competitive cult-founding kids in the middle east 2000 years ago were doing it for kicks

      yeah? i mean, just off the top of my head we have cults that did nothing but fuck because sinning glorified divine forgiveness and cults that died out because reproduction was too much attachment to this world, seems like some variation

      lol yeah that one's rough. are we sure enlightenment values define SF though? what with how the twist "they turn out to be Adam and Eve!" is so fucking hackneyed any given slush reader still has to reject it multiple times daily?

          but I didn't say enlightenment *values* define SF, Shelly was reacting against them, and is the Adam and Eve stuff really SF?

          you would admit though, that there are untrue scotsmen? If I claim to be scottish, for instance?

          i'm not sure that taking as axiomatic that everybody is scottish is worse than conceding this point

          it's not that i think you're wrong, it's that getting involved in making determinations about what is and isn't SF is tantamount to volunteering to maintain Wikipedia

          I mean, back when I was writting and was doing the Critters thing, I saw lots of stories where someone just stuck a robot in. Wasn't SF.

          "able to remove the spec el and it's still the same story" is a slippery damn slope to walk on though

          the enlightenment pretty much defined Mary Shelly, and I know there's precursors to her, but she is the main detonation.
