The 1993 scholastic book "Bruce Coville's Book of Monsters" contains the short story "Uncle Joshua and the Grooglemen" that stands out to me when I think about BotNS. It's not a strong story, but as an older millennial it was one of the first unreliable narrator scifi stories I encountered and it took an embarrassing number of re-reads for my child brain to apply the ending twist to how I envisioned the rest of the story

How about diving into the 80s comic series, The Incal? In terms of “what was defining sci-fi in the 80s”, the artwork of Jean Giraud in Metal Hurlant has to be near the top of the list, and Jodorowsky’s storytelling is a fun contrast to Wolfe— just as expansive and imaginary, but utterly unfocused and freewheeling. Thanks!
