Most of these interviews are dryly academic, as McCaffrey tries to relate this diverse group of SF authors into (or out of) the recently acceptable literary schools (mainly post modernism). There is some action–Bruce Sterling for most of his interview, Thomas Disch on certain other authors–and McCaffrey doesn’t always stay with the academic format, but most of the pages are such snoozers. In every interview there is the inevitable “who are you reading” and “who are your influences” questions, which are interview cliches, but still prove to illuminate something about each author, if only “how” they answer these interminable questions. I enjoyed the Sterling, Gene Wolfe, Samuel Delany, and Octavia Butler interviews the most. Gregory Benford was an incredible bore, and William S. Burroughs walks all over the feigning McCaffrey.

Modern science fiction writers have long inhabited a dimension far removed from the comfortable realms of filmic space opera franchises and Dr. Who. Too often lurking along the margins of literature are some of the most intelligent, imaginative, and outrageous writing talents of our day. These interviews by legendary critic and SF proponent Larry McCaffery journeys into the minds and psyches of ten iconic writers whose works influenced the evolution of science fiction. Authors like Octavia Butler, William Gibson, Thomas Disch, Ursula Le Guin, and Bruce Sterling discuss New Wave, hard versus soft SF, and the viability of the genre as a means of suggesting political, radical, and sexual agendas. As these writers speak candidly about their works, backgrounds, and aesthetic impulses, it becomes clear that the issues on their minds and in their fiction are central to contemporary life and art.
