I will never understand why Samuel R. Delaney isn't recognized as one of the leading voices in SF of the last century. Was reading Babel-17 on my flight and it doesn't just feel current, it feels like it fell through a wormhole from a distant future

he's not? Been seeing his name on "must read SF authors" lists since as long as I can remember. Maybe it's that he's never been optioned for film/TV?

Maybe he is and I'm just not running in the right circles. He's ripe for adaptation but I almost don't want to wish that fate on his work.

the dirty truth is he's still alive and hollywood finds that annoying to work around.

I realize that has Stephen King as a giant fucking counter-example, but still, it's a thing.
