SciFi Thoughts
314 episodes Last Updated: May 30, 25
Science fiction author Lancer Kind teases and tantalizes with this genre from the future. Science fiction has many dozens of sub genres with different story telling styles which attempt to bring new possibilities into how the world is seen. My mission is to expand what science fiction means to you by exploring this genre that is diverse as the stars in the sky. SciFi thoughts will, like the James Web Telescope, draw focus on a discovery and tantalize you with thoughts on movies and literature through intelligent and engaging discussion.
