I am a fan of science fiction but by no means an expert, therefore this blog will be aim to be open minded and as light as zero gravity and not weighed down by the minute details. The finer aspects of sci-fi fanlore and facts would be appreciated in the comments section to share and discuss, if truth be told, this blog is more about my own learning and being exposed to new ideas, sharing and discussing within the context of Science Fiction.
Ideas affect us all, now more than ever in the information age: long and not so long ago, it was myth and superstition that shaped our thinking and world, more recently Science and academia has become the new torchbearer for the story of human origin and perhaps human destiny, yet without imagination and vision would such technological innovation and social gains exist? Is Science Fiction the new myth of our time? Think about how many people believed (even a little) in the magic of the force when they first seen Star Wars, or 'woke up' when they seen the Matrix?or even now how many people hold a communicator device in their hand previously a fictional prop of the original Star Trek series?
Its not so hard to grasp that such ideas shape our world and thinking, I like to think of science ficition as a mental forge of mankinds future.
So follow the blog to stay tuned for more, i'll be looking to post up my own artwork and promote other artists- mainly illustrations or concept art to tie in with the topic theme with links to their site. Source material, Video and article links will also be added under each topic for further information.
