Hmm. The Zen Gun is only early eighties, so it's not that long ago. Consider Phlebas (or possibly Take Back Plenty) were the start points we picked for the new space opera, although obviously it didn't fully take off until Peter Hamilton and Alastair Reynolds got going. We were trying to find examples from much earlier - the fifties or sixties, really.
