Ah, so Bradbury and most of the new wave should be repressed. Give me that old time SF, and nothing else will do?
What an odd complaint. Although not the first time I have heard that the wine of SF should be kept in old bottles, none of these new skins, flavors, and smells for true-blue adherents. I do wonder why the literature of speculation should be thus constrained, but I suppose I don't have the proper attitude.
Please, do continue to use whatever twists of language, character, plot, problem, and so forth seem best for the stories you are telling. And don't worry, some of us will happily tread the measure that you've boldly laid before us. Even if it is in the air.
