Response to Spider Robinson on the State of Sci-Fi

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the future-is-now dept.

Garund writes "A day or so ago Slashdot posted a story on Spider Robinson and his lament for Science Fiction. Well, other people, including Mark Oakley, publisher of one of my favorite independant comics, posted a response to Spider on his Thieves & Kings website (scroll about a third of the way down the page). Interesting take on it, I thought."

    Robinson asks: 'Why are our imaginations retreating from science and space, and into fantasy?'"

    Spider Robinson can answer his own question by flipping the channel of his television set to watch "Enterprise" on the local UPN station. This spinoff of the original "Star Trek" series is probably the worst piece of science fiction that anyone in the Slashdot community has ever seen.
