Post 4... late

In Oryx and Crake it seems like nothing is impossible. If it can be imagined, it can be made a reality. With all the advances in science that are evident in this book, it seems as if men have crossed every obstacle that we have these days. It's kind of scary to see what they have done in this book. I think there is so far that we should go with science, past that point, we are trying to play God and that's not right. All You Zombies is a pretty wierd story, it is definitely interesting and caught my attention. It doesn't really make sense to me at all. Science fiction seems to me a manifestation of people's want to be able to push the envelope of what we can or have accomplished up to today. Anything they can imagine or want to happen in the future is put into writing and now we read it and contemplate the possibilities of it happening. That seems the whole point of science fiction to me.
