Dear Tom,

As yet, I have written not much of my tribal sci-fi. Yet, so far, what do you feel?

Good wishes.

Ajay

Thanks, Tom,

It is heartening to hear from you again and to also hear that there was/is tribal sciince fiction. Of course we see a lot of mock 'tribes' - Take the Mad Max series - which is indeed a series that I have enjoyed however, they do, as you suggest, do place tribal life in a fantastic realm.

Thank you.

Ajay.

"Tribal" science fiction does exist as I read some of it 25-30 years ago. I think that, as a sub-genre, it was probably insufficiently well liked to become popular and hence had to change and in that process it moved from the realm of soft sci-fi to fantasy. Tribal fantasy is alive and well.

Tom.
