Link:Ian McDonald

SF writer Ian McDonald has been blogging for about a week now, using the LJ platform. This link is a to his first really solid post, a discussion on SF trends, and his problem with one of the latest sub-genres that of MSF (Mundane Science Fiction). McDonald's latest novel is River Of Gods, which has just been published in the UK as a regular paperback (as opposed to the over-sized edition I have) - set in an India of 2047 where the country has splintered in to states, war is about to break out over water rights and AIs are getting out of hand.
