#WritersCoffeeClub 15th May 2025. “The past is a foreign country.” What facets of your work do you hope remain intelligible to future readers?

I write SF/F, which AS A GENRE is very much an artefact of its time—before 1910 it was part of ordinary literature, and SF as I knew it growing up in the 1970s-80s is turning into something else.

I'm writing for readers who are notionally 20-40 years younger than me. I don't expect anyone but scholars to be reading my books in 50 years, though.
