We hope we see you again soon, till then here’s a SF quote to ponder on.
I used to be a strong believer that we would eventually colonize the solar system the way it's been done in science fiction many, many times: bases on the moon, Mars colonized, move out to the outer planets, then we go to the next solar system and build a colony there. I don't know now - I'm not as convinced that's the way it's going to pan out.
Greetings ,
starting in 2026 ๐ The Science Fiction Book Club, the Galaxy’s Greatest Book Club, will now be reading a handful of the best SF SelfPub novels each year.
If anyone imagines only the very best SF novels written appear in book shops they’re sadly misinformed. An endless number of amazing SF novels have been written over the years but got tragically overlooked by the Publishing industry for a variety of reasons, including taste, politics and each publishing professionals personal preference. Sadly Science Fiction is still the unloved left-handed ginger haemophiliac stepchild of literature.
But over the last 10-15 years almost all of the creative energy in SF has slowly shifted from the gatekeepers of TradPub to wild-west of SelfPub, leaving bookshops flooded with the current endemic Romantasy slop we see today.
That’s sad for book shops and a lot of readers, but not for us.
