M. John Harrison on Some Interesting Science Fiction - Page 2

Harrison writes: "...there's no attempt to provide "balance" between old & new, to weight each decade evenly, or to make the list exhaustive. It's just stuff that turned me on when I read it or watched it; or which still turns me on now. I haven't tried to correct for the fact that most of it originated in the US or UK. I haven't played the game, 'I know an earlier & more contentious example of sf than you' because (a) if I ever did, I've forgotten it & (b) apart from Wells & Shelley I don't care about anything much before the turn of the 20th Century. If you want to claim The Epic of Gilgamesh or something, be my guest. If I've missed off your favourite book, or left out a category of authors, the same."
