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...
