When Orbital won the Booker prize there was a lot of talk about it being "the first winner set in space", as if they were trying to avoid saying "Sci-Fi novel" (because Sci-Fi is forbidden in literary circles). Now i've read it, i can say that it is a Sci-Fi novel; in particular because there is a crewed moon mission.
That's also the reason i read one "speculative fiction" novel last year. It's Oryx and Crake. Speculative fiction is when Margaret Atwood writes a Sci-Fi novel.

@drj I appreciate you for saying crewed.
Also, really didn't like O&C. Do not get the hype.

@noodlemaz it's a small step, but i have been trying to de-man my vocabulary. It's nice that you notice, though i would like us to live in a world where it becomes routine and unnoticeable.
I love Atwood's writing, so even though i thought the story, characters, and world-building of Oryx and Crake were a bit meh, i still enjoyed it. I read Children of Time the same year which is much better.
