What I also find intriguing in the comments to his post is the debate over whether or not scifi and fantasy need separate categories, and why. Thing is, the people who keep saying it's really easy to tell the difference between scifi and fantasy ("one has elves and fairies, one does not") aren't taking into account that both genres are changing. I don't read enough scifi to really be able to comment on that genre, but fantasy is really reaching out and becoming a whole different beast than what the people commenting on that post seem to think.
