that MOST sci-fi writers are NOWHERE near any literary canon

you might see Hanline, Asimov, PDK, and Gibson mentioned, but overall nah...

Shit Bladwin and Morrison, in certain circles and departments, struggle to get into the Proust, Tolstoy, Melville, Joyce, Hemingway, Faulkner, Salinger, Cheever club

we must always continue to read, write, theorize and discuss against, through and beyond the canon. it's essential to a collective radical imaginary functioning beside any social and legislative progression
