A moderate argument for keeping sf in the gutter

[supergee]

11 science fiction books that are regularly taught in college classes. No Le Guin, Asimov, Heinlein, or Clarke. No Fahrenheit 451 (maybe that's high school). The same mediocre PKD book Hollywood started with. A Princess of Mars*interrobang* Srsly?

Thanx to File 770

I thought that that the iO9 list would be a lot worse, including actual crap. I can see skipping SOME of the classic authors to provide something more relatable. (I still see Handmaid's Tale as all too possible; that's only seemed more likely as time goes on.)
