Gor is a continent in science fiction.
Many may wish it did not exist, but it is there.
It is not hard to find, really. Just look for a world that
lies a thousand degrees north of monothink, a thousand
degrees east of orthodoxy, a thousand degrees west of
ideological conformity, a continent far from the placid
waters of predictable mediocrity, a different world, one
real, one like no other, one beyond the familiar world’s
horizon, one emergent from far, tumultuous, untamed seas,
a world alert to deep currents, which listens to secret
whispers, which wears stars in her hair.
The maps of ideologically servile cartographers may choose
not to show the Gorean world, but it is there, a wonderful,
forbidden continent. Some of you know her, and have been
there.
---J. Norman, Dec. 2000
