Mythic Fiction

 

Should I event a new genre called Mythic Fiction? Or…Not Real Future Stories?

I’ve been writing down a lot of notes lately and I think I’m starting to see clearer. Maybe the book I’m reading (World War Z) has something to do with it (More on that GEM later)…I like tales that don’t fit nice and neatly into a space. Whether it’s Sci-Fi or Speculative fiction. What is Sci-Fi as a term anyway?

Science is not a thing, science isn't space, it isn't faster than light travel, it isn't lasers, robots, gene splicing...science is a process, a method, a way of looking at the universe, a way of asking questions and thinking about the proposed answers to those questions...and then asking more questions..

I mean…

I stare into the sky and watch a dot move slowly towards me. At some distance I recognize it as a shape I call a plane.

In the same place a french person would label it 'avion'. Someone with more knowledge than I might call it a Boeing 747.

Should the plane change it's name?

Peace, DAG!
