If sci-fi is the last bastion for philosophical thought then its a shame it gets such poor recognition among MFA creative writing snoots. Unfortunately, there are some creative writing professors and students who don't think sci-fi and fantasy belong in the same tier as more "literary" pieces. I'm still not quite sure what they mean by "literary." Anyway, hopefully they'll benefit from the articles here.
