Why We Love Sci-Fi

Science fiction is more than just a genre—it’s a way of thinking, imagining, and exploring. Here’s why we’re so passionate about it:

  • Endless Creativity: From futuristic cities to alien civilizations, sci-fi pushes the boundaries of what’s possible.
  • Big Questions: It challenges us to think about humanity, technology, and our place in the universe.
  • Hope and Warning: Sci-fi can inspire us to build a better future or caution us about the dangers of unchecked progress.
  • Sheer Fun: Let’s be honest—there’s nothing quite like the thrill of a space battle or the mystery of a time-travel paradox.

This month, we’ll be celebrating all the things that make sci-fi so special. Join us as we rediscover the magic of the genre and share our favorite moments, books, and movies.
