Mid-week Maunder 15 April 2020 – What is hard sf?

April 15, 2020 By fictionman

The term hard sf (or hard science fiction) is used a lot but it seems to mean different things to different people.  To me, it is a story in which the author sticks within the confines of how the universe acts based on science, with as small a number of extrapolations as possible.  Some stories […]

Can’t believe it’s been almost a month since Boskone in Boston.  That was a great con and I hope everyone who worked to put it on feels really good about what they accomplished.  They should!  It may be a while before we can have a con like that again, and here I’m referring to COVID19, […]
