She looks down her nose at "science fiction" and claims that her work is "speculative fiction" instead. It is a pretentious, pedantic distinction and, as a lifelong scifi fan, it makes me deeply ambivalent to anything she produces. Even if it is good science fiction.

She is beyond doubt pretentious and pedantic. She is also brilliant and can wield words in a way others wield deadly weapons in a theatre of war. You might have trouble listening to her say it, but it's almost always worth listening to what she says and how she says it.

Also, it's been a long time since I've seen science fiction and sci-fi jumbled together as a single genre.
