Notes

Need to add his birth/death dates, and republication year range (1980's by Baen books).Pat Palmer (talk) 05:00, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

  • Maybe discuss the technology in the Federation of the Hub universe that turned out to be predictive, such as everyone having personal communicators. Schmitz wrote that before Star Trek depicted it.
  • Say something about Schmitz' "monsters" essay.

Is there a James Schmitz cult, along the lines of Jack Vance?

Could easily be -- I don't follow the field much anymore except having a lifetime subscription to Locus, which I paid a hundred dollars for, I believe, around 1980, and which I have long since amortized. An issue today is $8.99 cover price, I think, so $100 covers 11 issues! Hayford Peirce (talk) 01:19, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
