Amy Biancolli of the Houston Chronicle has written an extensive and authoritative article on the current state of science fiction. She writes like a fan, which is fabulous, and she knows her sf history.
I especially liked this: "Call it what you will, but great science fiction can be cosmic or minimalist, outward-looking or inward. It expands or contracts, pushing humanity into the farthest reaches of space or reducing it to cinders."
Pretty great stuff. She also points out the mainstream novels that purport to present great new ideas that are--to the sf fans--old as the hills. It's worth reading! http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/movies/323863_scifi17.html
