Hobbits in Hyperspace?

I'm happy to report that I have an article examining the impact of the rise of fantasy on the science fiction genre running in the April 4th edition of Publishers Weekly. The article, "A Hobbit Takover?" (not my title - I prefer the one above) has been placed online here. They clipped a few of my more "opinionated" comments where I suggested that the fantasy boom might have some detrimental repercussions, but otherwise I'm very happy with the piece and very proud to be in PW.
