At a dinner party in "The Man in the High Castle" the guests discuss "The Grasshopper Lies Heavy" and argue over whether or not it's science fiction. It's certainly worth a read.
If you look at the third line in the third paragraph of the part of my post you quoted, you'll notice I mentioned "The Man in the High Castle."

But it should be mentioned more often...
