Science Fiction-post #4

The biggest advantage in writing science fiction is that there are no limits. Whatever the imagination can come up, goes because sci-fi may or may not be believable. I think it is more fun for the reader though if the story is something they can relate to.

In Oryx and Crate for example, much of the research mentioned in the story is stuff tha we hear in the news or read about now, although the creation of another form of life-being is a little out there. It does make me wonder though, if scientist and researchers have an ulterior motive in some of their studies, other than finding cures for diseases-like maybe perfecting the "humanoid"...which leads us to "Robot Dreams", if you haven't read it yet.
