I don't read Science Fiction.
Wisdom alone is the science of other sciences.
Science is measurement, measurement is not science.
Until Systers came into existence, the notion of a global 'community of women in computer science' did not exist.
With science fiction there's endless possibilities.
I'm a huge science fiction fan.
I quite enjoy science fiction.
If we long to believe that the stars rise and set for us, that we are the reason there is a Universe, does science do us a disservice in deflating our conceits?
