Getting the U.S./Yanks out of our sci-fi

[Vladika]

OUR sci-fi ???

I have to say that pisses me off.

First of all I'm a southern boy and in no way a "yank"

Second, I didn't know sci-fi belonged to any ethnic group. You want you ethnic group represented in sci-fi? Write some good sci-fi and get published.

Third, I could make comment about Brits having done very little on the world stage in quite some time and being a niche market at best, but, maybe I'll refrain. Opps...

I really wish you had refrained from the offensive last sentence of your post.

You do know the OP is an american right?

Oh, and two of the best sci-fi authors at the moment are brits (but then I may be a bit biased ) - Iain M Banks and Alastair Reynolds. I would personally add Peter F Hamilton and Ken Macleod, but there aren't to everyone's taste.

Ringworld recently got another installment, with Fate of Worlds due out in 2012 and appears to have been released. I'll get to it eventually. Not very militarist as a series, but definitely not free of lots of violence.

I just got this epub at BN.com . Not bad so far.
