History PhD. Joachim Boaz maps the more esoteric inclines and declines of science fiction between 1945-1985. When SF tackles the greater morass of things and our oblique interiors he is happy. His website Science Fiction and Other Suspect Ruminations charts these movements. https://sciencefictionruminations.com/
