Intertextuality

Margaret Atwood, who mostly writes mainstream fiction but has also written some science fiction, has been known to speak disparagingly of the genre. At one point she described it as "talking squids in outer space". A website was created to honor this vision of science fiction. http://www.talkingsquidsinouterspace.com/
