rosalita: I don't think of alternative history books like Farthing to be science fiction, but that might just be me.

ejmam: Alternate history is SF, especially if it isn't alternate because magic

paradoxosalpha: As an SF author, Leigh Brackett is known for her planetary romances, which are indeed very fine. But this novel, perhaps her most lauded book-length work, involves a more serious and credible look at the future of our society.
