... a continent in science fiction. Many may wish it did not exist,
but it is there.
It is not hard to find,
really. Just look for a world that lies a thousand degrees north
of monothink, a thousand degrees east of orthodoxy, a thousand
degrees west of ideological conformity, a continent far from the
placid waters of predictable mediocrity, a different world, one
real, one like no other, one beyond the familiar world’s
horizon, one emergent from far, tumultuous, untamed seas, a world
alert to deep currents, which listens to secret whispers, which
wears stars in her hair.
The maps of ideologically
servile cartographers may choose not to show the Gorean world,
but it is there, a wonderful, forbidden continent. Some of you
know her, and have been there.
---J. Norman, Dec. 2000
