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.

To be fair to Atwood, there was a lot of junk sci fi over the years that she would want to distance her work from.

Hell, even some of the most popular sci-fi today (cough—Three Body Problem—cough) would fit that bill. If I was an author in complete command of my craft like Atwood is, I wouldn't want to be explicitly associated with the genre, either.

I’d love to hear your opinion on Three Body Problem.
