Seen any good American science fiction lately?
It's occured to me that I haven't found any really good American science fiction lately --the last two writers from those parts I discovered were Wil McCarthy and Kage Baker and that's a good five years or more back now. Are there any new stars I should know about?
Don't bother with Cory Doctorow: tried him and his impression of Bruce Sterling at his hucksterish, thinking that's a good role model wearied me.
What I want is somebody who writes novels I can sink my teeth in, proper science fiction that's more than just an entertaining fantasy, something that makes you look up from the page and go "christ what an imagination I got".
Science fiction I've read the past seven years.
