Re: The best Transhuman scii-fi novels?
I think it's an underutilized side of fantastic fiction. You rarely see an author take a literary style story and place it into science fiction or fantasy. I had an English professor who looked down on "genre fiction" and made us read some absolutely horrendous "contemporary literary" short stories and I couldn't help but think about Isaac Asimov writing Caves of Steel to prove a similar critic wrong. (He also claimed "contemporary literary" outsold genre fiction, which is apparently news to the publishing industry who almost unanimously agree romance outsells everything else.)
