Letter from the Editors #6

Editorial
BY D.F. McCourt and the AE staff

Spending time representing AE at conventions over the past year, I’ve been reminded again and again that few people in the world bring such passion to their interests as science fiction fans. It’s a fundamental trait of the geek personality to latch onto some object of fascination and fall entirely down the rabbit hole. But there’s a dark side to this laser-like attention as well. As easy as it is to love something, it can be easier to loathe it.

We wandered through the rocks and the dust and that bitter, grimy wind. Ignorant of the cold, impervious to the oxygenless air, we searched for weeks, walking tirelessly through the boulders and wastes. Scanning. Tracking.

STATION ELEVEN by Emily St. John Mandel

Reviews
BY Jonathan Crowe

Station Eleven, the fourth novel by the Canadian-born, New York-based writer Emily St. John Mandel, is a prime example of non-genre science fiction — a novel written by an author not normally identified with science fiction, published by a mainstream rather than a genre imprint, but whose subject matter is unquestionably science fiction. Like others of its kind, it has received recognition from both mainstream and genre awards: It was a finalist for the National Book Award and the PEN/Faulkner Award, but also won this year’s Arthur C. Clarke Award and is a finalist for the Sunburst Award and the British Fantasy Award (the latter inexplicably in the horror category).
