Paul Beakley “Toys feel like they don’t drive play in any particular direction.” Then TQY is not a toy. It drives play hard toward conflict and the inevitable end-state.

As for science fiction, I watched four distinguished (or at least successful) scifi authors and publishers (the two I can remember being Robert J. Sawyer and Daniel Abraham) at a writing conference this past weekend argue for nearly 30 minutes about what scifi is, using the Gernsback and Asimov definitions as starting points without coming anywhere near consensus.
