Clute is also author of the critical essay collections "Strokes", "Look at the Evidence", and "Scores". His 1999 novel "Appleseed", a space opera, was noted for its "combination of ideational fecundity and combustible language" [ [http://www.scifi.com/sfw/issue217/books2.html Review of "Appleseed" in Science Fiction Weekly] ] and was selected as a New York Times Notable Book for 2002.
