Little things

[GraZZ]

I was looking at a Nebula last night, unfortunatly the Quantum Roses were too small to see (and whenever I tried looking for them, this punk Heisenberg told me I wouldn't be able to find them....)

I didn't even bother looking for the Hidden Dragon.

Karma, karma, everywhere, so let's all have a drink!

science fiction?

I think we are at the beginning of a great increase in the popularity of science fiction.

Never before has technology (the lingua franca of sci-fi) played such a role as it currently does, IMO. Meanwhile, the Sci-Fi Channel (could Jules Verne even have imagined such a thing in his wildest fantasies?) is among the fastest-growing cable channels on television, according to ratings.

I'm thinking, maybe this stuff isn't just for antisocial nerds any more. Perhaps science fiction finally matters.

It won't be long now before the Nebula awards are as popular, as talked about, as the Emmies or the Clios!

Any thoughts?

In other awards...
