Need a little sci-fi to make your week go down smoother?

We all need a little escape from reality now and then. Reality can be pretty hard to take down in one sitting, and it's tempting to want a little bit of a way out of that. It's why we turn to film and TV when the chips are down. It can be exhausting to live in our own world. If we step into someone else's world for a while, then we get a break from that. And sometimes the less that world looks like our world, the better. I'm all for realism when we need it, but gosh dang if that doesn't get old after a while. Take me away to somewhere with flying cars and a 3D printer for pizza. We've made so many advancements in technology, but no 3D printing pizza yet. As far as I know….

It can be great to get lost in a science fiction world. We're so limited by the constraints of our current world that it's nice to imagine a life beyond it. A life where we didn't have the troubles we have down here. A life where we're making regular contact with aliens and, in fact, they can be our good buddies. Who wouldn't want an alien as a friend? As long as they were a friendly species, I only see the benefit. Unless they fed on humans, then we might have an issue.
