Hello

and welcome to the weblog for English 3722: Topics in Speculative Fiction, Winter 2008. Here you will find the schedule, assignments, updates, and discussion. To start you off, however, here is an interesting article by Bryan Appleyard in the Sunday Times online, “Why don’t we love science fiction? The British are sniffy about sci-fi, but there is nothing artificial in its ability to convey apprehension about the universe and ourselves” (Dec 2/07), which talks about how we are now living in a science fiction scenario.

Hence the title of this blog.
