Editor's Introduction To:
Reactionary Utopias

Gregory Benford

 

It is sometimes said that Professor Gregory Benford is the only person alive who may win both a Hugo and a Nobel Prize.

He already has his Hugo, and as a professor of physics at the University of California at Irvine, he has at least a shot at the Nobel.

If he ever wanted to give up both science fiction and physics, he could make a good living at literary criticism. Most critical essays have little to say. This one says a lot.

Fair warning: Ursula K. LeGuin's The Dispossessed won a Hugo; second place was The Mote in God's Eye by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle.
