This is pretty much offtopic, although sf is of general salience to
futuristic thinking.
I'm wonder how many of the younger extropes (under 30, say, but don't feel
squeezed out) have read a fair percentage of the novels, and maybe shorter
fiction, in the following ballots from the '60s. (I'm preparing an essay
for a potentially important book on sf, so I'd like to get a sense of the
room, ya dig?)
One or two of the novels from each year? Nearly all from all years? A
couple from the whole bag?
Don't send comments to the list unless this seems generally interesting;
I'd welcome brief comments to my @.
