To infinity and beyond

I totally dig science-fiction. 

Not Star Trek science fiction (a little too nerdy, and gadget filled for me),

but more

Orson Scott Card,

The Giver

and Gattaca

 

science fiction. 

Ryan is a big fan and I’ve realized I am, too. 

And mostly, I think it’s either you love it or you don’t. 

I love future-istic,

 

 

apocalyptic:

utopian society stuff. 

I like the What If and Could It Happen of it all. 

I love Time Travel (because what would be cooler than that?)

 

I love the way this genre examines human nature and ethics and morals

by making humans more able and powerful. 

I love the escapism of it all. 

My dad doesn’t.  My friend who read The Road,

recently, doesn’t.

Which camp are you in?
