conehead Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 I remember reading "The Martian Chronicles" when I was a young teen. I thought that we would have colonies on Mars in my lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is it with English teachers and their antagonism towards SciFi? Are they just frustrated writer wannabe's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeker Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 What is it with English teachers and their antagonism towards SciFi? Are they just frustrated writer wannabe's? I believe J.O. was commenting on the grammar in deicer's post not on SciFi writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deicer Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Same with Heinlein, Clarke and Asimov.The interesting thing is that they all were highly educated men, yet they made their mark creating fiction.To me, it is their way of weaving social commentary into their tales that made their works the most interesting.In some ways, that makes them still relevent today.
