It may sound like science fiction, but journalists are a slack lot.
I just read a review of Jim Crace's new novel _The Pesthouse_ which stated that Crace is taking SF away from the "shiny complicated intergalactic world" of writers like... Philip K. Dick and J.G. Ballard.
Quick! Think of two SF writers whose names would be known to a lazy journalist rushing to meet a deadline!
