There has been a divide between what I will call artsy SF and pop SF for as long as I've been reading SF&F, i.e. mid 70's and the SF&F awards tend to be dominated by the artsy SF crowd. While I really enjoy Scalzi's books, but I suspect that we disagree on a lot of things. That's ok, I don't have to agree with or like an author to enjoy reading his or her books.
