Description: 
Science Fiction enables scientific creativity to break free, unrestricted by the laws of nature as we know them, and allows contemporary issues to be explored in radically different environments than the normal trappings. By definition, Science Fiction is a genre that creates alternate scenarios and then watches them play out. Joining host Robert Kuhn is author/producer/director Michael Crichton; Physicist David Brin; and author Octavia E. Butler.
