We all know the term ‘Mainstream’ when it comes to literature and publication. But have you hear of ‘Slipstream’?
Here is an interesting discussion of how the term originated.

I read the full article. I don’t think Bruce Sterling actually defined slipstream in the applicable context. A lot of references were made in regards to Sterling’s novels, but they have little meaning to those of us who are unfamiliar with the author.

Thanks for your conclusions, David. It has been a very popular article on Mythaxis, nonetheless.
Best wishes, Pete.

I’m familiar with the term in regards to aviation and such, but never heard of it as a literary genre before. Interesting.

A created genre name that seems somehow very suitable. 🙂

Interesting!
I know two films have been named Slipstream, the one by Anthony Hopkins I have got;
An actor and would-be screenwriter, who at the very moment of his meeting with Fate, comes to discover that life is random and fortune is sightless. He is thrown into a vortex where time, dreams, and reality collide in an increasingly whirling slipstream. It’s a surreal and dreamlike tale of one man’s journey.
I tried to like the Bruce Sperling article, but WP won’t let me when I’m on Safari. 🤔 GP Cox was allowed. 👍🏻
