SF is growing up?
So I've been doing a great deal of (escapist) reading of late for various reasons that no one can fix, and had a thought about how sf has evolved during some recent reading.
I don't think Bujold's latest could have been published thirty, forty years ago. Granted, I doubt that any publisher would have given it a go now without her big name, but since the story rides on the reason why she earned the name, there it is. Anyway, it's not just the content but the variety out there that I appreciate. I've mentioned a few of my latest reads, and with the thought of a really remarkable one coming up in May (to be discussed closer to its pub date, when others can also weigh in), thought it might be interesting to see if anyone agrees.
Always up for discussion of any type, and getting more recommendations.
