Science fiction- window to the future

There are a few things that we can learn from science fiction novels. There are many individuals who believe that these science fiction novels are nothing but a figment of imagination. Writing science fiction is not the same as writing ordinary fiction. Any individual can write fiction by relying on imagination alone. However, it is impossible to write science fiction without having proper understanding of society. Now that we have a huge volume of science fiction content that was written over 300 years ago, we can analyze the same and determine how well have understood ourselves and our society.

’Priest'Comic Book

What a graphic book it is! I truly enjoyed it and I must say the combination between Sci Fi, fantasy, western and Gothic motives has produced spectacular results. The main characters seem to have had the opportunity to get their designer suit collections by Alexander McQueen - a truly well made comic book Priest is!

The book is designed, written and completely made by a Korean comic writer. He has incorporated several styles and techniques in his novels describing various More

We Should Be Living in a Sci Fi World

Did anyone else get told as a kid that we would have flying cars by the year 2000? Okay, maybe that’s an exaggeration, but I definitely remember reading from a “scientific” source some time in the 80’s about cars that would do all kinds of cool things. This includes–and I swear I remember reading this–bumpers that were going to be installed on the sides of highways that would “pilot” drivers to their destination. Am I the only one who read More

Comic Book Conventions are Mainstream

If you tell someone you are going to a comic book convention they may get an image of you being a nerd who likes to surround yourself with other nerds. But they would have no idea how huge comic book and sci fi conventions are today. These conventions held all over the world are fast becoming launching pads for movies, television and anything in the comic/sci fi universe.

Forward futurist gaming

The games these days are now either living in the past or thinking way into the future, the interim we live in lies in between the recovery of wars and future possible wars. Hence the developers of games now find it a new hobby to make games that relate to the either of the two with their own free imagination.
Taking games like Operation Flashpoint : Red River, Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3 into perspective, we can take a More

Asimov’s Foundations

There is hardly anything more fascinating than the books that Isaac Asimov wrote and the works with which contributed for the development of the sci fi genre in the modern literature. It is like a genetic code - his works remain inspiration, constructive blocks of the modern day sci fi culture. He has inspired some of the blockbusters of the 21st century (Will Smith’s ’I, the Robot’) and has made a general contribution to the world of science giving inspiring More

The REAL Danger of First Contact.

If we ever do make ‘contact'with extra-terrestrial life, then I wonder what it will actually look like? The Science Fiction genre has existed for many years and authors have dreamt up all manner of different ‘life-forms’; from clunky and robotic ‘humanoids'to insectile or reptilian creatures. Of course, the beauty of it is that no-one knows if there are aliens out there… let alone what they look like!

And then there is the personality side of it all to consider… Most More

In praise of Battlestar Galactica

One of my favourite things about Battlestar Galactica in its current form is that it’s both an established classic and a whole new, compelling show. A bit like Doctor Who, I’m of a generation that missed the show the first time round, which means that I experienced the contemporary BSG as a whole, fresh new thing - and my experience has been all the better for that.

For those who’ve not seen it, the first seasons of BSG revolve around More

Vampire and zombies and aliens and stuff

Sci-Fi some think is a pure imagination. It doesn’t exist. Surely it does, I’m not saying that vampires and aliens exist. I don’t know about aliens but vampires? Who knows, but for now I don’t care. These creatures or creations purely in the mind in a form of inception are actually true characters in the real world.
They are representations of people like us. Their existence in movies and books are risen out of imagination of oppressors and the oppressed. More
