However, a label can also be misleading, and can keep a person away from a story they would otherwise have enjoyed. Better to look past the labels, and find out about the story, than to depend on labels... there's plenty of SF out there that can be highly disappointing to a reader, if they don't know in advance what it is they're about to read.
