I'm just not sure if they really believe it's inferior or if it's just that they all want to look as smart as the rest of the critics. I had hoped that perhaps Harry Potter would get people to look differently at speculative fiction but it seems like it hasn't but then they ignore Steven King and Michael Crichton too.

The best way (I think) to change this association is to get an organization of bookstore owners together and decide to shelve the sci-fi out front with mainstream books, instead of putting them in a corner somewhere. That could make the market change, because they are following buying habits. If sci-fi spiked in sales, critics would jump on the opportunity. I agree.
