...third in a series of collected critiques on science fiction authors, which has arleady covered Isaac Asimov and Robert A. Heinlein; books on Ray Bradbury and Ursula K. LeGuin are in preparation.

His words applied to the egghead-baiting and benign neglect of the '50s, but they were also prophetic for the drug culture of the '60s and the trivialized mysticism of the '70s.
