Science Fiction: A Review of Speculative Literature is one of the world's leading journals of science fiction. Warriors of the Tao includes 16 essays from this landmark (but little-known) review, distilling its witty and sometimes controversial dialogue about fantastic writing during the last third of a century, including such topics as: the NON-sf writing of Philip K.

The contributors include: Russell Blackford, Terry Dowling, Bruce Gillespie, Van Ikin, Sylvia Kelso, David Lake, Sean McMullen, David Medlen, Helen Merrick, Yvonne Rousseau, Bruce Shaw, Darko Suvin, the late George Turner, and Tess Williams.
