That crazy Buck Rogers stuff
This survey of definitions of science fiction includes this entertaining one from Alan DeNiro:
Science fiction is the bratty kid resulting from the marriage between Metaphysics and Romance. The child was born out of wedlock, however, and was put up for adoption–to be raised by a radio tinker and amateur rocketry enthusiast who happened to live in an abandoned nuclear powerplant.
Coincidence: my friend Russ just reviewed Duncan's Vellum. Sounds pretty good.
