Given what the NYT has done in reviewing written speculative fiction over the years (hint: the current occasional reviewer is worse, but not much worse, than his longtime predecessor, who had the opposite problem -- hadn't read enough that wasn't fantasy/SF), I'm just waiting to see if they drop Paul Krugman as a columnist due to his own enthusiasm for science fiction... and this article from his misspent youth (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1465-7295.2009.00225.x/full) (which actually dates from the beginning of his academic career, despite the "first published online" date stated on the webpage).
