GR as SF

[Paul DiFilippo]

In my wide-open, exceedingly slack view of SF, GR fully qualifies
as a member of that elastic set.  But even in such a relatively
rigid view as Isaac Asimov's, it probably would.  He was the fellow
who first identified three large branches of SF:  "Why not?";
"What if?"; and "If this goes on...".  GR plainly falls into
the latter category, showing us exactly what perilous road
we have set our twentieth century feet on.
