I'm sorry, I was really looking forward to reading this and feel like I've failed some sort of sci fi test.
It does read like propaganda and that is his field in real life, psychological warfare. Maybe that is why I find his stuff so repelling. Taking a look around for more on him, I see that Christianity was very important to him and that his science fiction is riddled with his consequent beliefs. Surely nobody thinks he can write? Surely. I'm sorry, but what I want to say is I don't blame him.
You can guess what happened.Īpparently he couldn't write unless nobody knew who he was. One day he bent over the side of a boat on the Meditteranean. He had any number of ideas which he kept in a note book. Pohl tells a story on his blog about the reason Smith stopped writing about the world of the Space Lords. I know he's a cult figure and I seem to be down on them, but.
