I consider his novel The White Plague

one of the best

Is it science fiction? Not really


Same for the Santaroga barrier
still working on Sophrosyne, but I will no doubt end up with Hubris

I call him a PsiFi writer. Nearly all his novels require supernatural abilities for the plots to work.

The White Plague is an exception, as is Hellstrom's Hive.
Shit happens. The older you get, the more often shit happens. So you have to try not to give a shit even when you do. Because, if you give too many shits, you've created your own shit creek and there's no way out other than swimming through the shit. Oh, and fuck.
