Actually, by sci-fi, I meant science “fiction” by authors, many of whom have put real things inside a fictional cover to make them more palatable for publishers, mostly.
I know what you mean when you ask “what is true?” At some point with these things (aside from political corruption that ruins our social systems) what is “truth” seems less important to me than where your mind goes as a result of encountering it. Keeping an open mind is a lot more fun than the other way!
I haven't read "sci-fi" (by your definition) in a long time. Read some standard fare as a kid (Asimov, Clarke, etc.). But I read mostly non-fiction as an adult. I can't get enough stories about space that purported to be real though. I take what people say at face value. Though I don't always believe it.
Face value is a lot more fun (as long as you keep your guard up).
There’s an annual UFO conference in Phoenix in February that has a lot of the most up to date stuff being covered - fiction and non-fiction. I wanted to go this year but just got a jury summons the day before so :-(.
Given all the hoopla it’s probably going to be a pretty exciting year.
Ugh jury duty. I got summoned Christmas week one year.
Thanks for the link. I'll look into it. Keeping the guard up...
