Or Socartes, but Plato did all the writing. “And what is good, Phaedrus, and what is not good – need we anyone to tell us these things?”. (Wombat-socho at The Other McCain.)
Well, yes, Socrates, in this decadent and depraved age we do indeed need people to point out what is good, because Our Moral SuperiorsTM have spent the last couple of decades trying to sell us polished turds masquerading as good literature. This is especially evident in science fiction, where the once-prestigious Hugo Awards have been reduced to nothing more than a feeble marketing device for Tor Books’ parade of Pink Goo writers.
This deals with a regrettable list of SciFi books, that seems to ignore a whole bunch of people.
