I agree, and as such, he was a target for leftists from the beginning. I’m not familiar with Wylie. I just glanced at his bio, and he sounds interesting, if not a bit catastrophically inclined. I’m not big on dystopian views in general.
I am an avid audiobook fan these days, since I have limited time for reading, and I’ve been extremely displeased by most modern “sci-go.” Not only is it composed of Leftist tropes, it has no scientific basis. Half are poor morality plays and the majority of others are compilations of gratuitous perversion.
I like Neil Stephenson, Steven Baxter, Michio Kaku, Dan Simmons, Kim Stanley Robinson, Greg Bear, Greg Egan and a few dozen more.
Wylie was a author or books, short stories, and Science Fiction. Read his book “Nest of Vipers” written in 1942, could have been written yesterday, far ahead of his time on his commentaries of society and where it was going.
