A Conversation for Science Fiction - Some Hard, Some Soft
Hmmm
Mat Started conversation Aug 31, 2001
Great article. Though I am not sure I agree with some of the qualifiers for Hard or Softness. In my experience the Hard Sf writers are just as guilty of Deus ex machinism as the soft boys.
Also does Hard sf get relegated to Soft when all of the science in it is debunked? That master of the Space Opera E.E. Doc Smith could be considered to be hard sf in the way he writes about the technology!
Key: Complain about this post
