It is. But in the end this is a discussion about who gets to talk about certain books and how its identified in a bookstore. We're not really talking about writing, which in discussions about this kind of thing is almost besides the point. Alas. We're all playing the game. Just so everyone knows, my next book (spring 2024) contains no robots or speculation - it's set in 2017.

Sure—my main point is about category (which I see as a bigger umbrella than "genre")
