Do you have a favorite book, movie, television show, or video game set in a world so richly imagined that you sometimes wish you could really live there? From wild and fantastic places, to existences much more familiar to the time and space in which we live, writers of fiction, especially speculative fiction, have ignited the spark that brings life to these other realms within our imaginations, daring us to travel there with them.

What I Might Do With This Lens

This lens is a work in progress, and it may become something different than what I had in mind when I created it, but here's my list of ideas to consider in the near future:
  • Explain speculative fiction genres such as steampunk and cyberpunk.
  • Provide links to speculative fiction sites.
  • Provide links to online adventure games.
  • Offer relevant items for sale at Amazon.com.
  • Offer relevant items for sale at CafePress.
