| | Article: Reason, Sexuality, and the Self in Libertarian Science Fiction Novels, by Greg Beatty |
| | Metamorphoses of Science Fiction: On the Poetics and History of a Genre. | | | James Gunn has stated that science fiction "is the branch of literature that deals with the effects of change on people." Given the stability these novels claim for human character, libertarian science fiction is more about stasis, or, more charitably, about people effecting change on the universe without being changed by their actions. | | | Since libertarian science fiction is also a debatable term, I'm only looking at the novels that have won the Prometheus Award, the award given annually since 1982 by the Libertarian Futurist Society. |

| | Soft Science Fiction: Some so-called soft sciences are traditional ones: history and philosophy, for example. | | | In most soft science fiction, the focus is not on imagining and projecting "hard" science into the future, but instead rests on the moral and social life of humanity. | | | Hard science fiction is generally written according to rigorous specifications that involve extrapolating or projecting believable future developments of known scientific laws or principles. |

| | Greg Bear : Bear is well-known for writing "hard" science fiction and for masterfully incorporating religion into much of his fiction. | | | In science fiction and fantasy, a writer's worldview invariably affects their writing, but not necessarily in ways which alienate or are offensive to readers with different beliefs. | | | If science fiction may be said to have a creed, Ben Bova may have expressed it most simply: "...the principles of science fiction [are] based on the fundamental principles of science: that the universe is understandable, and human reason can fathom the most intricate mysteries of existence, given time. |

| | Heinlein and politics?: Science-Fiction & Fantasy forums |
| | I think the author's personal politics are not germaine to their work except if they also present an argument of how aman/woman should live. | | | Heinlein was fascinated with power, and military discipline, and his politics are largely authoritarian, right-wing. | | | I wrote a story once (and wish I still had it because it was the only good writing I had ever done) that contained characters who, if they were real people, I would despise. |
