Status Updates From Again, Dangerous Visions

Using the name "Madame LaVeau" is great foreshadowing.

This political commentary may have been extreme in 1971, but it is frighteningly accurate. (Not the space stuff)

This narrator sounds like Daniel Craig's Benoit Blanc from Knives Out.

Koontz supposes a global dictator would be a businessman, instead of a politician.

Ellison's inclusion and praise of Dean Koontz is a mark of his discernment and the ability to spot raw talent. Dean Koontz is, in fact, the only one writing Dean Koontz novels.

I love the dream story.

Piers Anthony confirms being horny doesn't preclude good writing. 😅

The horrific parts of this story are not the science fiction parts. It's the parts that are already real.

Joanna Russ is a badass.

"A lady anthologist whose name escapes me" I can't tell if Ellison is making fun of me because I don't know who it is, or just doesn't care enough to research.

"This news report brought to you by" is no longer science fiction, and is worse because they're not even honest about their sponsors 😭

I didn't know I wanted science fiction poetry.

This reminds me of Canticle for Leibowitz.

I guessed the contents of the meal, but not the results 👀

Unsurprisingly, Ellison gives Gene Wolf three submissions, to which NO ONE should complain.

I loooove this narrator.

AG Moffat's intro is such in Ellison's voice, I can hear his voice over the narrator's.

Unsurprisingly Ursula Le Guin's addition to this anthology is excellent and horrifying.

Ellison's effusive praise for Ursula Le Guin is so far from his usual crotchety commentary.
