Just as you would not expect a staunch communist to write a book praising a capitalistic future, I see no reason to expect someone who strongly favors government enforced artificial scarcity to write anything positive about the type of post-scarcity, post-singularity future I prefer to read about.

I have no issue with that. We should probably send each other the SF stories we like least. I have a feeling we'd make a good Jack Sprat team.

I'll put it bluntly-- I do not want to live in the kind of world that he wants to live in. It is one thing if a writer presents a distopia knowing that it is a distopia, but another thing entirely when he presents a distopia thinking that this is just a swell way for things to end up.

My point is that you currently have no idea what he presents in his fiction, or how he presents its. Would "prejudiced" be a more accurate description than "closed-minded?"
