TRUTH <> BEAUTY
Thursday, March 10th, 2011 08:26 amhere is a vast and beautiful infographic labelled 'The History of Science Fiction' (They mean 'Western, Predominantly English-Language SF&F'.)
However, every time I look at it I find something else to disagree with. This Immortal as 'sword and sorcery'? Tehanu as 'hard' but Left Hand of Darkness as 'soft'? Connie Willis grouped with 'steampunk'? And why does Flowers for Algernon show up in 'Paperback Novels'?
Admittedly scrolling around a webpage isn't the best way to look at something like this, so maybe I am missing nuances. But still.

Have I been reading too much SF?

"Clearly, the present never is changed by mischievous time-travellers: people don't suddenly fade into the ether because a rerun of events has prevented their births - that much is obvious."
Prove it.
Also quite amused that their 'Related Links' includes Doctor Who.
