Not meant to be a flame but I thought this was a superficial article.

I wonder if any of the authors had ever read much science fiction other than a generic college textbook about fiction or a Wikipedia search. They included mostly factoids and trivia questions (interesting but not significant) and one rather vague claim (#1) about the source of science fiction with weasel words like "Arguably" and "much". True for some of the science fiction genres but also "arguably" true for "much" of standard fiction.

My assessment is a "C".
