I have a mixed view of science fiction. On the one hand I enjoy it for its creativity and modern topics, but I also tend to associate it with sort of a dark side/humor. Science fiction reads to me with a very modern, trendy feel much like a lot of tv shows (24, CSI) do today. Science fiction is also very popular among today's youth with any form of entertainment. The first memory I have of science fiction is from the Sci-fi channel. The movie was about an earwig that ate through a man's brain to the other side. After surviving this the man then learned that the earwig was pregnant and had in fact laid eggs inside his brain. I do enjoy how science fiction explores the unknown: space, the depths of the ocean. Science fiction asks you to escape to worlds that are imaginable, but either before their time or impossible. I liked Oryx and Crake because it involved the future and concepts that are easy to imagine and forces you to not so much focus on the probability of the future, but how science and technology could simplify and enhance the world. Not only do I think that the way a science fiction creates solutions to the future, but also enjoy it for the way it incorporates the changing technology and scientific concepts and studies that shape our policy, government, and a variety of current events in the future. In many ways it evolves and creates works based off of current space travel, genetic studies, etc. and takes those realities to the next level that sometimes eventually come true.
