I don't mean to pick on this guy, because I always want to encourage people to read more books, and to talk about what they read.
But man! is this discussion of "old school sci-fi" and "new school sci-fi" utterly untethered from anything resembling knowledge of the genre and its history. His "old school" seems to be the Campbellian stuff, more or less, but "new school" is...Ender's Game?
It makes me want to subscribe to his newsletter, just to see what comes next...
