Hmmmm... well spoken.

Mostly yes, but at the same time, he's saying it's unfair to judge someone going to a political conference for the politics of the conference. There are dozens if not hundreds of sci-fi conventions. This one is a political one. I'd argue it's politics first, sci-fi second.

That said, I read the Starship Grifters series, or at least two books, a ways back. Really enjoyed the first book. If I recall, I think the second was a step down, but I don't really recall.

Sometimes good sci fi can come from people with abhorrent politics. Like Ender's Game.

If Russia stops fighting, the war ends. If Ukraine stops fighting, Ukraine ends. Slava Ukraini!
