i´m sorry friend. can´t agree with that. the scifi I mostly always
admired is sometimes a predicted future, yes but not necessarily
artifial nature (jack vance is quite hippie / fantasy stuff in a
sophisticated scientific way)... I am simply fascinated by the
possibilties of the future (frank herbert, p.k. dick). they feedback
backwards towards our life. sci fi was an hatred genre because ppl
thought it has nothing to do with their lifes.. this made the authors of
these times even more mad about writing real shit.. that, and the
(re)discovery of drugs and psychology, zen-philosophy etc. in the early
60ies towards the late 60ies layed the ground for the golden age of
scifi which definetly was in that era. and john brunner is a fucking
genious of giving real life stories a dark and thrilling psychologic
twist.. i don´t understand why nobody ever plundered his books for film.
aynways, thats also scifi and absolutely not artificial...
i think its just the slick black / silver polished spaceships and an
affection for high-tec we have since getting paralyzed by THX1138, blade
runner and alien ... :)
is "stalker" scifi? is it artificial? :)
