Re: How Hard is your Science Fiction?
For me, it depends on what I'm in the mood for - especially as I'm doing a whole lot more reading than game-plotting these days. I just finished a handful of Star Trek books and am in the middle of a trio of modern fantasy books, the next one on that stack being the cyberpunk dark fantasy I mentioned on the other thread. After that...I dunno. I've got a moderately slutty socio-SF book that I wouldn't mind getting to, and there's another Trek book I just can't seem to get into but am making occasional progress with. Then again, I've got the final book in a decently-hard SF trilogy making its presence known....
You just never can tell. I might finish the Dresden Files book that I'm in the middle of and hop over to some Tom Holt comic fantasy. I'm mercurial that way. :) Suffice it to say that as long as I can get into the story, I'm game no matter how rigorous the science is (or isn't). I'll dive into some Robert Sawyer just as fast as I will the new Star Wars novel.
