So, I've had a viral flu thing-y since about Monday. It sucks. To pass the time in bed I've been watching tons of Star Trek The Next Generation. I forgot how much I love it. TNG has such a rosey outlook. It says to us "in the future, peace will come as the result of calm, reason and science." It's reassuring. I remember an essay I read or talk I heard somewhere about different periods of time and their concepts of the future. It's hard not to compare the Star Trek version of the future to the I Am Legend, 28 Days Later apocalyptic dystopian versions. I guess what I'm getting at is this, I miss the days when science fiction was about building a beautiful future, not surviving a terrifying cataclysm. Any good places to look for good fiction? Can anyone relate to this?
