@26, Cory

Not sure Heinlein, Merril, Tiptree, Asimov, Bradbury and Pohl and Kornbluth et al. are as apolitical as you seem to suggest. From cold war imperial style interstellar commentaries to trans/cross-sexual experiences there is a wealth of sociopolitical commentary embedded in the works of those authors. Sometimes the political content takes decades to decipher into relevence (PKD for instance), but it's there nonetheless.

Even new wave and cyberpunk (and post) fiction is drenched in politics, from implicit to the declared.

Bourgeois technofetishism and commentary is no higher ground than past passionate works. We all stand on the shoulders of giants, but rarely are they fully understood and appreciated in full context.
