My take on what Mike said is analogous to what i find in bookstores.
Fantasy is invading the SF shelves.....it's been going on for a long time. I
view it as fantasy (inferior) trying to snuggle up to and get the "name" that
SF has worked for all these years.
Same-Same all the various "intellegences"......
The dilution will eventually make it all irrelevant...
