About Me
- Russell Blackford
- I am an Australian philosopher, literary critic, and professional writer. My new book, from Wiley-Blackwell, is FREEDOM OF RELIGION AND THE SECULAR STATE. I'm editor-in-chief of The Journal of Evolution and Technology, an on-line, peer-reviewed journal. I am a Conjoint Lecturer in the School of Humanities and Social Science at the University of Newcastle, NSW. My formal qualifications include First Class Honours degrees in Arts and Law, and separate Ph.Ds in English literature and philosophy. The latter may seem extravagant, but I have my reasons! Feel free to follow me on Twitter (tweeting as "@Metamagician").

I do wish people wouldn't change it to "sci-fi" when I write "sf", though. I guess I'll just have to get used to it, as "sci-fi" seems to have won out in the war of memes. *Sigh.* Fie!
Damn editors! The review WAS sent to Neworld with sf not sci-fi, but some editor changed it and I did not notice until I read your comment, Russell.
Editors seem the most prone to using clichés and herd words and mundane usage. Curse them, I say, curse them to the hell I don't believe in (except for any editor named Blackford, of course!).
But the good news is, your incisive and much appreciated review has gotten more pageviews that any other review in this month's issue. So many thanks again.
