This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

H'mmm. I guess some of this depends on what you mean by=3D20
"younger generation." Many of the '60s/'70s "New Wave"=3D20
writers are technically younger than Wolfe. I'll assume
you mean someone who came along after, say, William Gibson.
Unfortunately my chronology isn't that good, right through
here, so you'll have to excuse me if I stumble on this.

Some names that might go into a reasonable hat -- people
who, while not "imitation Wolfe" in any sense, share at
least one or two of the virtues that I associate with=3D20
Wolfe:

o Karen Joy Fowler
o Neil Gaiman
o Peter Hamilton
o China Mi=3DE9ville
o Pat Murphy
o Matt Ruff
o Mary Doria Russell
o Robert J. Sawyer
o Connie Willis=3D20
o David Zindell

Just some thoughts...
