Author's Note 2-1-14: In June 2013 I redesigned the center portion of this page with a main channel image, a default video of my choosing and then I added playlists over the next several months. This is as much of me as I can put into the Science Fiction for Thinkers Channel at YouTube, using the "One Channel Design" template. Thanks for visiting.

Science Fiction for Thinkers Online

This past week I went back to WordPress and put up a site blog for my official website. For me, blogging at WordPress is like wading through a muddy field without boots on and finding more mud on the other side of the field. But at least I'm not in the same spot. Besides, Science Fiction for Thinkers.com needed a site blog and putting up a blog at Webs.com is like wading through quicksand without boots on and finding nothing to grab a hold of while you're sinking.

On the other hand, blogging at Blogger is like a walk in the park. Whenever you have to wade through some mud at Blogger, it's not very deep, and when you get to the other side it's almost always a field of clover worth rolling in. But this Thinker's Corner blog post is really about Science Fiction for Thinkers Online, the brand-new official site blog of Science Fiction for Thinkers.com.

"Science Fiction for Thinkers" Unmasked

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.

"Science Fiction for Thinkers" Collection Complete

With the addition of my sixth sci-fi thriller, Little Green Man from Mars, the Science Fiction for Thinkers collection is now complete. Three books comprise The Evermore Trilogy and three books stand alone.

I'm now writing literary fiction under the pen name Jonco Bugos.

Pennsylvania's Heritage Showcased

All of my science fiction thrillers have Pennsylvania settings, although other states, countries and planets are featured as well. Readers who like rich narrative passages about Pennsylvania's coal and lumber history and its colorful hunting tradition will enjoy the Science Fiction for Thinkers collection.

But the biggest part of this sci-fi collection is the exploration of supernatural phenomenon, the universe itself, and contemporary American mores. Plus the always exciting conflict between good and evil.

Who says sci-fi can't read like mainstream?

Science Fiction for Thinkers

I don't write comic book SciFi. And I don't write Fantasy, although all my works contain some elements of fantasy in them. But there are no capes and swords, no hooded ghouls or space knights in my books.

When you unmask real life, what you see is a lot spookier and astonishing than anything purely imaginary, and that's what I do. I take an average American town or an average day in the life of an average man or woman and I peek under that rock and expose the supernatural roller coaster ride that runs beneath it all.

And on that roller coaster ride many battles are won and lost and many unlikely heroes emerge and all of it seems so real. And that's because most of it really is. And that's because there's a lot more to life than what we see, hear, smell, taste or feel. And much, much more than we think.

"Deeds of Destiny" Now Available

My fifth novel is now available to the public. Deeds of Destiny is a story about the myth of free will and the reality of cosmically-orchestrated life events.
