| Sci Fi YA |
When I was in college, my girl friends and I would meet
everyday for lunch. Like the Sex and the
City girls, we’d pick a place and discuss whatever we wanted that day. Unlike
them however, our conversations mainly
revolved around literature and television rather than sex. As single lady nerds
studying literature (library sciences for me though) in college, conversations about
literature and pop culture came normally to us. During one of these lunches, a close
friend of mine said something that has stuck with me. She said that she loved
Sci-Fi and Westerns because they were, in her opinion, the only two genres that
went well with everything. I agreed completely.
Sci-Fi may not be the most popular genre in the market right
now. Often, it gets misclassified or lumped in with regular fiction because of
secondary elements. But it is still very present in all media. If you can dream
up a genre and a medium, odds are you can find something that has somehow
melded with it.
