It's a magical world

I think I mentally class it with my SF shelf, because it's the sort of metaphysical resolution I associate with philosophical SF (say, "Canopus in Argos" by Lessing which elicited the same "this is so cool! but...WHU?" reaction :D) That's an endorsement for me, tho. (I know many people are allergic to SF flavours in their fantasy and vice versa.)
