[QUOTE]Originally posted by Treknophyle: [QB] I think I was misunderstood: 1- I do consider EG a good piece of sf. I was decrying the lack of quality in the conversion of any good sf to film. 2- EG is good. SISL is a major sf work (along with Dune and maybe 3 others. I don't consider EG to be at the same level. No one in my sf club does. Card doesn't. Not to insult EG - its pretty good. A Dodge Stealth is a good car - but it isn't a Ferrari. 3- SISL isn't dated. Good sf never is. It isn't the technology of a sf novel which dates it - or the geography (areology?) - such as Mars not be inhabitable. It is the revelance of the message the sf seeks to send. Good sf is a vehicle for new modes of thought - new ideas. That is why so little cinema is good sf - and so few novels today. 4- End of sermon. Now, if you had said Heinlein was dated (or not relevant) I would have said a pox on your house. [/QB][/QUOTE]
