Science fiction is a genre encompassing imaginative works that take place in this world or that of the author’s creation where anything is possible. The only rules are those set forth by the author. The speculative nature of the genre inspires thought and plants seeds that have led to advances in science. The genre can spark an interest in the sciences and is cited as the impetus for the career choice of many scientists. It is a playing field to explore social perspectives, predictions of the future, and engage in adventures unbound into the richness of the human mind. - Summary by A. Gramour

not as long as it looks


(4 stars)

several of the 20 stories listed here have an hour plus of blank streaming time at the end of the stories. as has been the case with this collection the stories have interesting artifacts of the time when they were written. being descriptions of what is anticipated in the future, references to outmoded transportation, and references to the ether of space.
