BioShock 2: Scary Smart Sci-Fi
0
It’s been pretty slow around here at My Sci-Fi, mainly because March was a super busy month for me. But don’t worry, I’m dedicated to keeping new content hitting this site regularly, and to make sure that happens, I’ll be expanding the range of topics even more. A few days ago I talked a little [...]

…but then again, who does? Fantastic last words to a fantastic movie. Blade Runner can be considered a vis major in and of itself.

This will be the first in a long series of reviews covering what I hope to be many of the great and classic SF novels. It started when I wrote my Sci-Fi Masters post. I’ve read some of them, am familiar with most of them and their stories, but am not as thoroughly acquainted with the actual [...]
