First of all, I will not respond to reviews. If the reviewer makes an obvious and glaring howler I might correct it, but that is as far as I would go. If the review simply takes the idea in new and unexpected directions, I would rather just let it go.

There is a difference between correction and conversation. I may well follow up on the ideas spurred by creative misreadings of my work, but I will do them in other places and the people who scared up those particular hares may not actually see them. The people who read the book on its own almost certainly will not see the continuing conversation.

As I say, my involvement with What It Is We Do When We Read Science Fiction as an artefact is now over. The author of that book is dead.
