Are Rush fans 'generally' into Sci Fi?

[templejanitor]

There's nothing like a good Star Trek episode or movie.

 

But I've gone beyond sci-fi to where sci-fi meets reality.

 

dark matter

dark energy

string theory and m-theory

the concept of space-time

the LHC

AMS-02

how we are affected by what lurks in other dimensions

geocaching

watching the ISS fly over

watching any satellite fly over

watching the NASA channels and the astronauts work on the ISS

 

It's amazing where the mind goes when you're listening to RUSH music.

I love Star Wars, the new BSG, Aliens, and H.G. Wells, but I think that's the extent of my Sci-Fi (unless you count literary Sci-Fi, which is Wells and Fahrenheit 451, etc.). I'm more philosophically minded than sci-fi (considering I received one of my B.A.s in Philosophy), but I don't like Ayn Rand; if we're talking post-Fascist Feminist thought, I prefer Hannah Arendt, but if we're talking broad spectrum post-Fascist thought, I'm Derridean and Neil is most certainly not Derridean.

 

But bring on Star Wars! And Spaceballs!

Like most sci-fi and fantasy stuff, most of the stuff mentioned previosly and we are eagerly waiting for caprica to be a DVD released. The pilot was very promising. Unfortunately I don't read as much as I used to when I was younger, but then I probably read more horror/fantasy than sci-fi, moorcock, piers anthony and loved the necoscope series by Brian lumbly (?). However, I'm a big fan of Terry Pratchetts discworld novels which are hugely entertaining, very witty. The first few are a bit odd but there are some real gems in the collection.
