A renewed Booktube interest in A. E. van Vogt’s SF?

Recently, I have noticed Vintage SF, Bookpilled and others have been taking a 2nd look at A. E. van Vogt’s Science Fiction. I consider A. E. van Vogt to be among the top foundational SF authors of all time: Verne, Wells, Huxley, van Vogt, RAH, Asimov, “Doc’ Smith, Eric Blair, and more. And there are a lot more great SF authors who came on later; Bradbury, Clarke, Norton, Anderson, Ellison, Zelazny, Laumer, on and on, and I am not attempting a complete list, or we would be here thru the New Year! I have procured a few more van Vogt references over the last year, and I think they provide important insight into his writing approaches. I have a sort of signed copy of van Vogt’s autobiography: Reflections of A. E. van Vogt. The signature is on a sticker in the front page and looks real. Van Vogt does not get really deep, here. We do learn more about his wife’s works and influence. A signed to a fan copy of Destination: Universe! In the introduction, van Vogt explains his SF writing philosophy. My interpretation of Van Vogt’s thoughts from Destination: Universe Introduction. He isn't just writing space adventures. He believes in what human beings can achieve, but he is aware of the fact that regular people are constantly being controlled or held back by powerful domestic, international, and opportunistic forces, thru the media, government, and corporate entities. When v V talks about "misused positivism," I think he means the danger of science, cold logic, data, or technology being used as a weapon to control society instead of helping it. It's the same central warning he built into stories like The Weapon Shops of Isher, The World of Null-A, Slan, and more. Asimov promotes a “Humanist” view, in the Caves of Steel and the Naked Sun which I will discuss a bit, shortly. SF as a promotion of free thinking: vV claims that science fiction isn't just entertainment. It is a powerful tool that sneaks past a reader's mental defenses and programming, encouraging them to think for themselves and question authority. However, this can work both ways: SF can be used for teaching human combination of action, collaboration, plus promoting intellectual, ideological, economic, and philosophic concepts that can be either beneficial OR detrimental. The trick is to recognize the difference - and that is why studying history is not just critical, it is essential. On other words: Be skeptical and do your own study, drawing conclusions for yourself. A common topic in SF.
