Ray Bradbury, author of Fahrenheit 451, said, "Science fiction is the most important literature in the history of the world, because it's the history of ideas, the history of our civilization birthing itself. ...Science fiction is central to everything we've ever done..." Many people believe the goal to science fiction writing is to predict the future. However, writing science fiction stories could actually guide technological development. This science fiction writing class will focus on the story elements, with science elements entwined. The main character will take off on his/her hero's journey to worlds beyond our galaxies!
