Episode #113 The Best Science Fiction Novel of 1968 w/ Brian Collins and Lisa Yazsek

If there is a cursed episode of this podcast it is this one.
Sparked by an argument on Twitter started when I declared John
Brunner’s Stand on Zanzibar the best SF novel of the 20th
century. Multiple people responded saying it wasn’t their
favorite of the year. I invited all the people who weighed in and
trying to schedule 4 time zones and five people’s schedules
proved impossible. So it ended but three people instead six. I
tried.


Lisa returning two episodes brings it of course and Brian Collins
of SF Remembrance blog does a wonderful job helping me guide the
conversation on Science Fiction in 1968.  In this episode,
we talk about the culture in 1968, the state of the SF community,
which books were nominated for the two major awards, where the
conventions were held, and deep into the books of that year.
Those deep dives include Picnic in Paradise by Joanna Russ, Camp
Concentration by Thomas Disch, Nova by Samuel R. Delany, Do
Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by PKD, and Stand on Zanzibar by
John Brunner.
