While I found Andy Beckett’s article (Accelerationism: how fringe philosophy predicted how we live, The long read, 11 May) informative and insightful, I must object in the strongest possible terms to the depiction of Roger Zelazny as obscure and the Lord of Light as forgotten. Zelazny was a genre-defining author whose works are still in print and in demand half a century after he wrote them. Lord of Light is an award-winner and regarded as an absolute classic of the genre. His name and his work are well known by anyone who pays attention. Many of our current crop of top authors acknowledge their debt to him. For example, Neil Gaiman dedicated American Gods to Zelazny.
