SF isn't a genre; SF is the matrix in which genres are embedded, and because the SF field is never going in any one direction at any one time, there is hardly a way to cut it off.

At any one time language is a kaleidoscope of styles, genres and dialects.

I believe this presentation will give a sense of direction and security to those who take time to attend.

Science fiction is very well suited to asking philosophical questions; questions about the nature of reality, what it means to be human, how do we know the things that we think we know.

I'm always juggling 20 things at one time. I look forward to being on the field with the guys. I look at it as a break. I get out of the office and get away from the phone. I go out there and coach football for two hours a day, which is what I truly love.

The disappearance was treated as a theft because one of the padlocks to the field had been cut, and there was no obvious trail or indication that the buffalo had simply wandered off.
