The Mundane Manifesto
Greetings
Check out my BLOG posting about a Nebula Awards Interview with Geoff Ryman where in he makes the case for his Mundane Manifiesto for Science Fiction.
What do you think of his rather rigid view of hard science fiction?
And Ian McDonald reacts...
Enjoy the journey

"A scrupulous writer, in every sentence that he writes, will ask himself at least four questions, thus: 1. What am I trying to say? 2. What words will express it? 3. What image or idiom will make it clearer? 4. Is this image fresh enough to have an effect?" - George Orwell, Politics and the English Language, 1946
