Favorite Science Fiction Settings

The fine fellows over at SfSignal were kind enough to solicit my opinion about my favorite SFF settings. In my typical orotund fashion, I analyzed the several possible meaning of the question and defined the role of setting in “counterfactual fiction” (my newly-coined term for SFF) before saying I liked Tolkien’s Middle Earth and Zelazny’s Amber and especially liked the Tschai, Planet of Adventure, of Jack Vance.
