A Colder War by Charles Stross6/7/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Stross's most acclaimed works to date have been his pure science fiction novels, Accelerando and Glasshouse, but he's still not comfortable being labelled purely as a "science fiction writer". ![]() "But because I get bored easily, I kicked back pretty hard against the demand that I do more of the same." Alongside space operas like Singularity Sky, he has published a series merging Lovecraftian horror with British cold war thrillers, and what he describes as a "fantasy series that isn't" with echoes of Roger Zelazny and H Beam Piper. "I decided a long time ago that I wanted to write full-time," he explains. But for all the consistency of his intelligence, he has always made a point of working in as many of science fiction's diverse sub-genres as possible, resisting the pressures of a commercial genre to repeat a formula. ![]()
