	Speculative fiction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Speculative fiction is a term which has been used in multiple related but distinct ways.
		For example, in Harlan Ellison's writing, the term may signal a wish not to be pigeonholed as a science fiction writer, and a desire to break out of science fiction's genre conventions in a literary and modernist direction.
		The use of "speculative fiction" in the sense of expressing dissatisfaction with science fiction was popularized in the 1960s and early 1970s by Judith Merril and other writers and editors, in connection with the New Wave movement.

	Speculative fiction
		Speculative fiction is a term which has been used in two related but distinct ways.
		Thus, it is in effect an alternate label for science fiction used by the minority of writers and theorists in the SF community who are unhappy with what they consider the limitations of the SF genre.
		In his writing (and elsewhere) the term signals a rejection of being pigeonholed as an SF writer, and a desire to break out of SF's genre conventions in a self-consciously literary and modernist direction.

	The SF Site: The Best in Science Fiction and Fantasy
		Janice Shriek, sister to Duncan, has left a manuscript of a "belated afterword" to her brother's famous Guide, "The Hoegbotton Guide to the Early History of Ambergris by Duncan Shriek." She wrote this afterword shortly after the Guide was published and Duncan disappeared under mysterious circumstances.
		While this book was a pleasant if not overly engrossing read, it would be hard to place it into either science fiction or fantasy, or even imaginative fiction.
		This is sometimes a difficult distinction for books by "mainstream" writers who use elements of SF or fantasy to place their story in a slightly alternate reality.

		The Internet Speculative Fiction Database looks like a bit of a winner to me. It's a community effort to catalogue works of fiction and links together types of bibliographic data such as author bibliographies, publication bibliographies, awards, magazine content listings, anthology contents and forthcoming books.
		I checked out the entry for Iain Banks which gave me a cross reference to Iain M Banks, which listed his wikipedia entry, IMDB entry, web page (which actually isn't his and wasn't working anyway), series, novels and collections.
		However, it's still a useful resource if you're into speculative fiction.
