Grandmaster Brian W. Aldiss is the rockstar of SF.  He has a new novel coming out, too.  TIt's a shame more of his back catalog isn't available... although Earthworks is--a novel whose opening images have stuck with long past any others.  The Helliconia Trilogy won the Campbell award and British SF award (twice).  Plus they were nominated for several Nebulas, Locus and other awards.

On SF & Perspective

The lure of science fiction: an insider’s view by Tom Purdom

Teju Cole redefines words in an Ambrose Bierce's Devil's Dictionary manner.  Humorous.  Interesting, thoug,h how the politics on display could be altered if definitions were switched.  Would people still read and link to it?

Interview I did with Lewis Shiner a few years back.  For some reason, my memory thought it longer.  Maybe because I'd done so much research for it.

Application by Lewis Shiner

Fantasy & Science Fiction, November 2012

A man's former computer notes that the man is applying for a job beneath him because of business practices.  The computer pretends to have helped him out when it slips out the real motive later.

Humorous and clever.
