No mention of any piece by Jack Vance ? For something to claim to cover the golden age of Sci-Fi ? Very weird.

Very weird.
- andybak 3y agoNew Wave has a specific meaning and it's one that by definition excludes another specific period ("Golden Age") I'm not quite sure whether Jack Vance is regarded as part of either? EDIT - ah - further down the page there's a mention of Golden Age. But it seems to only be in terms of precursors and influences on New Wave: > The following titles from science fiction’s so-called Golden Age (1934–1963) are listed here in order to provide historical context.
- deng 3y agoYes, this is not a list of "Best SciFi books from 1964 to 1983", it is specifically meant to cover the subgenre of New Wave. This is also why for instance "Flowers for Algernon" or "The forever war" is not there, since they are not considered New Wave but are for sure classics that would be on a generic "Best SciFi" list.
