As gatekeepers of the new, hot genre, Gernsback and Campbell personified the very worst of so many regressive traits and knowingly enforced their worldviews.
I wonder how different the intersectional landscape of technology and politics would be today had more nerdy teenagers of the 1970s and 80s been steeped in Ursula Le Guin instead of Heinlein.
