I love SF!Īs an SF scholar and current Vice President of the Science Fiction Research Association, I'm interested in SF because it demands smart readers.
And as in all these great books-things get weird, and then they get bad, and then justice gets more than served. It makes for challenging reading, but the best SF has always been a literature of ideas-more specifically, it is literature that shakes you out of your everyday ideas about the world and makes you think, "of course, I should have seen it that way before!" And that's what's so much fun about Campbell's book-in short, it's a great head bug, in the tradition of Robert Heinlein's Starship Troopers (for its unflinching look at love and war), Hal Clement's Mission of Gravity (for its truly bizarre encounter with the alien other) and John Varley's Titan series (because-not to spoil anything-the alien other in this book is an entire planetary system). As a fan, I thoroughly enjoyed how Sunshine Patriots resonated with different SF traditions ranging from the military adventure to the ecological puzzle-how often do you get that mix in a novel? Campbell brings the two together in surprising and ultimately very satisfying ways. Reading Bill Campbell's Sunshine Patriots was a fantastic experience for me on both counts.
