Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

I really can't imagine reading a book by someone whose vision of the future is "men will be taller and have more muscles, women will stay the same height but they'll all be conventionally attractive and have voluntary control of their uterus".
Babel-17 came out in 1966, and its vision of the future was that a good ship's captain knows how to complete a poly triad and you can't leave Earth without a full crew including three ghosts and a furry.
Now that's the kind of stuff that makes puppies sad...
(New wave SF is a bit of a blind spot for me. Never really read any Delany, even though his autobio is one the best I've read)
