John Shirley's social-future roundtable has brought a handful of email responses, some of them coherent, the recurrent theme the observation that all of those interviewed are on what we call in the US the 'left'. (Who are mistaken in their worldviews, etc.) John has assured me--even before he completed the piece--that he had invited numerous other writers, including several 'right-wing' writers, to participate, but all of them refused. So it goes.
