The Sleeper Wakes: A Mind Meld

SF Signal has a new "Mind Meld" up today, with suggestions for books for a person who self-identifies as a SFF reader but hasn't read anything newer than 1974. (And the more I think about that, the more I believe the only plausible explanation involves coldsleep.)

I'm one of the people who replied, and, as usual, I spent most of my space arguing with and contemplating the premise. My fellow melders this time include Tony Daniel, Jeffrey Ford, Jennifer Stevenson, Felix Gilman, and Adam-Troy Castro. Also as usual, I'm probably the most verbose and least helpful. (Sometimes I'm beaten out on those counts, but John C. Wright wasn't part of this one.)
