I think that's the most quoted opening line of a SF novel ever.
That's quite sad, if you think about it.
(And just emphasizes the ephemerality of SFnal "prediction".)
Not really, the quality of his stories is debatable but he's good at describing things. He's apeing Raymond Chandler essentially but you're allowed to do that.
Thing is, will he be remembered better or worse than Chandler is today 55 years after his passing? And will this future generation glean as much meaning from his descriptions as from Chandler's?
