Science Fiction has been a way to broaden our horizons, to reflect on our own society through metaphor, and imagine what the future might be like.
There are countless examples of scientific discoveries and new technologies we take for granted today that were only a glimmer in the imaginations of past sci-fi authors. Distant solar systems, hand-held computers, and space travel were all conceived in the minds of these creators long before they became a reality. There is no telling what the next great breakthrough will be, but we can certainly glimpse what could be coming through the lens of science fiction!
Get ready to blast off into the future with a special invitation to a new series ~ Sci-Fi Saturday. This is a perfect opportunity for classic SciFi fans to indulge their passion for intergalactic adventures.
