Nebula Awards musing

So, Mike Resnick asked me to do an essay for Nebula Awards Showcase 2007, which will be the next volume in SFWA’s annual series of anthologies. It’s been a while since I did such an essay (I had one in the volume that came out in 1994), and so I thought I should just get a flavor of what these books are like lately by reading the Amazon.com reviews. And I stumbled on this 2,500-word essay, which is (as I write this, anyway), the first of three reviews shown of Nebula Awards Showcase 2005. I’m referring to the review entitled “There Isn’t a Science Fiction Writers of America Anymore” posted December 17, 2005, by Antinomian, from Estonia.
I don’t necessarily agree with the review, and it’s certainly not politically correct — but it’s as thoughtful and entertaining an essay about science fiction as I’ve read of late.
