The World Wide Web seems to be pointing people away from real science fiction these days. That's mostly due to the influence of Hollywood and Madison Avenue. And that's unfortunate because Michael Casher's unique blend of hard science fiction, action/adventure, humor and romance is a new and often astonishing sci-fi experience you won't want to miss out on.So, what's hard science fiction? Before we tell you that, we'll you what it's NOT. It's not vampires and dragons and monsters and mutants. That's horror. And it's not space opera, intergalactic warlords or space erotica, which has often been mistaken for real science fiction. That's fantasy and smut. Real science fiction is fiction that has some kind of "science" in it, emerging or speculative or theoretical science.
What makes science fiction "hard" is mostly the high-tech element. Futuristic hardware, newfangled gadgets, exotic gizmos, techno-wizardry and all that fun electronic, cosmic speculative science. But it's also the scientific concepts and theories that go along with all that gadgetry. That's what makes hard science fiction seem so believable.
And, if you're wondering what "crossover" science fiction is, we'll spill the beans about that right now. That's genre sci-fi that contains some elements of another genre. Michael Casher's sci-fi combines science fiction, action/adventure, humor and even romance, but it reads like mainstream. You get real — but readable — science fiction, instead of the overrated and overdone sci-fi fantasy that's front loaded with confusing techno-speak, smut and creepy, dark themes.
So, you can forget about castles and capes and swords and unicorns and twisted religious history, too. That's fantasy, which is fodder for moviegoers and gamers and aftermarket pablum for kids with bottomless pocketbooks. Not only is it not science fiction, that kind of tripe is way overdone, to the point of saturation, in fact.
Science Fiction for Thinkers is science fiction for "grownups", adults who aren't so obsessed with sex, violence, swords, Satan, inscrutable ancient scrolls, romantic fantasies and flying waffle irons that they forget how to think for themselves. Remember the 90's phrase, "think out of the box"? That's the kind of readers we're looking for. People who are hungry for adventure, new knowledge and cutting-edge concepts about life, time & space and death.
Michael Casher, Science Fiction for Thinkers and Science Fiction for Thinkers.com invite you to "read out of the box". Your world may never look the same.
