New Horizons

Regular page viewers (assuming that there are some!) will have noticed that this blog frequently compares Poul Anderson's works to those of a handful of his approximate contemporaries, American hard sf writers of the same milieu, and to two major British future historians. It can hardly be necessary to list the half dozen names yet again. This happens because your blogger continues to find these works fresh and significant.

(Glancing through Methuselah's Children for a reference to Harriman, I found Lazarus Long's comment on the Road Cities. Also, of course, he discusses "Pinero the Charlatan," from the opening story of the Future History. Appropriately, Pinero, the man who could accurately predict the date and time of anyone's death, met Lazarus Long, the man who, it seems, will never die...)

However, I am unfamiliar with the works of many more recent writers who have addressed comparable themes. I may or may not read some of this more recent sf. Certainly I have no comparative research project in mind! The blog is for relaxation and pleasure. But I would positively welcome comments or contributions from any readers who would like to widen our horizons. How have future histories and cosmological sf progressed since Tau Zero and Genesis? Has anyone done time travel better? Etc?
