I wish more science fiction was science-y.
I’m not a hard SF snob, but so much of what passes for SF these days (come on, Stargate?) is really bad space gadget opera melodrama. Science fiction, in addition to having robots, rayguns and possibly attractive people in silver bathing suits, contain at least one big idea. One fascinating, brain twisting quandary. One hint of the almost-possible, the soon-to-be-possible. Even if it’s a bad big idea.
Give me something to chew on here, people.
