American Nightmare?
Norman Spinrad describes The Star-Spangled Future:
"America is something new under the sun. not so much a nation at all as a
precog flash of the future of the species . . . I wrote believing that I
was simply writing disconnected science fiction stories from whatever
came into my head . . . And they all turned out to be about America, the
leading edge of all possible futures unfolding around us . . . After
all, that was what was coming into my head, that's the mother lode of
science fiction realities - the American fusion plasma of which we are
creatures - and all we have to do is keep ourselves open to it . . .
that's my definition of science fiction. We have seen the future and it
is us."
