Writing Excuses 9.2: Hard Science Fiction with Eric James Stone
Eric James Stone joins us for a discussion of hard science fiction. We begin with a discussion of definitions, and then we take care not to spend the whole episode just talking about that. We talk about what we like about hard science fiction (with examples) and of course we address the crux of the matter: can you write hard science fiction without having a degree in the hard sciences?
Homework: Think of a way to combine two technologies that are currently not combined, and weave them into a story.
Thing of the week: Bowl of Heaven, by Gregory Benford and Larry Niven, narrated by Zach Villa.
