Space/Science » in reply to Star Wars over, Star Trek dead - what will the next generation of science fiction look like?

Asteroid Wars

Hi EP

I think a lot could be done with the scenario sketched out by Ben Bova's Rock-Rats series. Would make a decent nearish future SF saga with enough exploding hardware for the techno-porn addicts.

Throw in some robots or cyborgs - can you imagine what a cybersuit would be like with nano-tech? And you've got some decent action potential as well as room to comment on current social issues. Maybe Mars colonists are into cloning? Or same-sex marriages - made fertile by IVF tweaking - and there's a Religious Right in charge on Earth.

Good controversy potential there.
