Worldcon75 podcast about estrangement with Gary K. Wolfe and John Clute. Hosted by Jani Ylönen.

Prominent science fiction critics and writers Gary K. Wolfe and John Clute discuss estrangement, the Academic Track's theme in Worldcon75. Weirdly enough discussion veers to New Weird as well.

John Clute is a science fiction and fantasy literature writer and critic. He was one of founders the English magazine Interzone. His works include the Hugo award winning The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction (1979; second edition 1993) with Peter Nicholls, and The Encyclopedia of Fantasy (1997) with John Grant. The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction (SFE) is continually updated and is available at sf-encyclopedia.com. It won a 2012 Hugo.
