I’m sitting here writing this when what I should be getting ready to go to my fencing salle’s holiday party. I became interested in (and am now quite serious about) fencing, thanks to Ellen Kushner’s Swordspoint and the other books and stories that make up her Riverside world (including Fall of the Kings with Delia Sherman, which one could argue is one of the best arguments for not going into academia ever written). Surely, I’m not the only person who has picked up an unusual pursuit thanks to beloved things Sci-fi and Fantasy.
So this leads me to ask, what did science fiction make you do?
