Go back and read "Repent, Harlequin" or The Forever War or or Make room! Make room! or "Solution Unsatisfactory" tell me that all sci-fi from that age is all up and up. Go read the Dangerous Visions anthologies compiled by Ellison.
I think you'd be a bit surprised by how "optimistic" a time that was--for all the rocketships, there was also a large state security apparatus, huge civil unrest, and great existential threat from the Russians.
- jonnathanson 12y agoI didn't say that "all sci-fi was up and up." I don't think you and I are in any real disagreement. I think you're misreading my comment a bit. Alternatively, given the rambling and unstructured nature of my comment, I'm probably not being clear enough. :)
