So by this classification, would you consider Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale" not to be SF? It's been a long time since I read it, but I don't recall there being much science involved. I'm thinking "speculative ficiton" would be a much more apt description for it than science fiction. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
