It can be terrifying in its portrait of our future, heartbreaking in its characters, and hilarious in its stories, often all at the same time. It’s both based in the familiar and expanded to the limits of our imagination. I get paid to talk to people about science-fiction and to introduce students to the genre that shaped so much of my life. Now, I have to pinch myself when I realize it’s part of my job.
