Talk:T. J. Bass

Genetic manipulation in Rorqual Maru (1972) Galaxy, Volume 32 No.4
In: Rorqual Maru (1971, UPD Publishing Corp. / Galaxy, Volume 32 No.4) Any geneticists out there? -How accurately does Bass use technical terms and procedures in his descriptions of genetic engineering? -If accurate, was it the latest available info in 1971? Did he make any really good guesses? -A brief discussion of the history of this field as imagined/used/anticipated in SF would be interesting (under topic: Science Fiction ?) I'll bet a bunch of us have our favorites; like RAH's Jerry Was A Man (Thrilling Wonder Stories, October 1947 & Assignment in Eternity, Signet, 1953)) or Varley's Uplift novels.
