• Spock vs Spock

• It Came From the Nebulas: Novelettes

  
  — Authority:
  Novelettes are odd birds—too long to be short stories , too short to be novels or even novellas . I have trouble seeing any significant technical distinctiveness that makes a story a novelette rather than something else. It strikes me as publisher-speak. When I see “novelette,” I think, “really long short ...

• TRON: Uprising Art

  
  — Authority:
  I never had much time for the TRON universe: to my mind the original was an impressive technical feat but the story didnt grab me, and I wasnt even slightly tempted by the sequel from a couple of years ago. The animated spin-off from TRON: Legacy was barely on my radar, but I have to admit that this compilation ...

• Parable of the Talents

  
  — Authority:
  I’m tempted to just tell all of you that this book by Octavia Butler is even better than Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale and that you must read it and leave it at that.

  I… I might be in love with this story. You can marry stories, right? And still be married to your husband? I’m pretty sure bigamy is okay if it’s with words. Don’t tell me otherwise. Ahem. Right. Anyway. So I was a bit… not spoiled, that’s not the right word, maybe more like unprepared? Sure. I ...
