Steele, we are informed in the editorial intro, has a long fascination with the history of science fiction, and he uses his knowledge in a lengthy (overlengthy if your interest in that history isn’t as strong as his) look at the very early days of SF fandom, and shenanigens going on that result in some revelations following the death of one of SF’s elder statesmen.
Personally, I’ve found Lavie Tidhar’s shorter and more light-hearted takes on SF fandom (here and here) more to my taste.
