   He hasn't been for some considerable time.   
      
   As to being a "Master" of science fiction - while the stories adapted   
   from the likes of Heinlein and Asimov will certainly qualify as   
   "masters" (Ellison has always been massively over-rated, not least of   
   all by himself, in my view), I have severe doubts as to whether any of   
   the recent crop of scribblers will qualify on that score until history   
   is properly assessed.
