Lisa Fary's earliest influences are Princess Leia, Rainbow Bright, Astronaut Barbie, and her 6th grade teacher, Ms. Palmer. She's angry that it's 2011 and she still doesn't have a hovercraft, but will accept a jetpack as consolation. That jetpack had better be pink with a rhinestone monogram. 3 Comments

He was never my favorite writer, but I loved the books of his that I read and I really respected his ability to continually write novels that appealed to a wide range of readers. They might have all basically been considered “science fiction” but each novel was so different then the others and so in tune with popular culture at the time. That was an amazing feat, and I think the literary world will really miss him.
I loved his rabble-rousing speeches. There’s a lot of blather about SF being a “Thinking Person’s Medium” but really most of it just recycles what we already know or are told. I love that his speeches called in to question the most basic assumptions of politics, science, the environment, and stuff like that.
He was my favorite writer, I really love his novel ” A case of Need”.
