How to Write a Generic Sci-Fi Novel by Paul McAuley.
Includes such gems as:
Also include either a kickass woman who can do the unacceptable things that would make your hero unlikeable, or a wise old soothsaying woman who speaks in parables and knows things that can’t be found on the internet. See also: sidekick comedy robot.
and "No matter how technologically advanced your future society might be, its sociology and economics are basically those of the seventeenth century."
It's really "generic TV/movie sci-fi", BUT YOU KNOW. I need to now go and find Paul McAuley's books.
