I missed this when it was posted a few days ago. Kindle Daily Post has a great interview with Prof. Eric Rabkin of the University of Michigan as part of their plug for their new promotion offering a free subscription to a paired down version of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. He talks about how he came to be interested in science fiction, the future of science fiction in the face of digital content, and the Genre Project, where he and his students are studying literature and culture the way biologists might study an ecosystem.
Great read.
