I went for dark and kind of gritty. As a matter of fact, the story opens at night. <BR/><BR/>All my sci-fi and futuristic is imperfect. Even in the sequel to Fatal Error, titled 'Mind Games' there is a dark underbelly to society that is sanctioned by the government. <BR/><BR/>I'm a big conspiracy theorist, so to me there is always an underlying motive. Fox Mulder and I were definately on the same wave length. <BR/><BR/>As for stories I like? I love Star Trek and Star Wars both. I think the differences come from one being the future for Earth. Gene Roddenberry invisioned a future society to have gone passed their problems in order to seek different cultures in a unified front. Star Wars has no claim to Earth. They don't even know Earth, so the expectations for George Lucas wasn't a proposed future Earth but a history of a distant galaxy (all together now..) far, far away. Though if you go a layer beyond the surface it's very much Japan and the way of the samurai. (He's said that he's a big fan of Kirasawa's Seven Samurai.) <BR/><BR/>-KatKathleen Scott/MK Mancoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14872072913152568070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28436164.post-1163508347941155202006-11-14T19:45:00.000+07:002006-11-14T19:45:00.000+07:00I'm a Star Trek and Star Wars fan too, for differe...I'm a Star Trek and Star Wars fan too, for different reasons. Star Trek gave us hope, I always felt. It showed what the human race coudl achieve if we really put our minds to it. In the Trek universe humans have put aside war amongst themselves, they've embraced other cultures, learned to love diversity and achieved fabulous things. <BR/><BR/>Star Wars has appeal because here is a society that achieved much but is still plagued by the problems we face today, a wide gap between the have's and the have-not's, internal strife, hidden evils. I suspect those things exist in the Star Trek universe too when you dig deep enough, though they were not part of Roddenberry's original vision.<BR/><BR/>I'm all over the map in what I write and read as far as human society. I'd like to think our future will be Trekian, but I have a feeling we'll be somewhere in between the two ends of the spectrum.Two Voices Publishing https://www.blogger.com/profile/13509265828424193303noreply@blogger.com
