Hello!
I've been enjoying some of the debates within the SF community recently. One particularly interesting one is the idea that SF has lost its way or become irrelevant. This essay was particularly interesting:

I disagree with some of the premises, such as the idea that SF is about prediction, but the critques of contemporary work are vicious. I'd love to know what other members of the group think.
