04/09/2005: "What about me?"

I have to admit that I'm a bit of a sci-fi junkie. To be more specific, I am a deep-space-fightin' aliens-hyperspace-super robot-supernova sci-fi junkie. While I also enjoy the other kinds out there, my heart is firmly rooted in the afore mentioned. Why do I bring this up? Well, I can't seem to find those books anymore

I remember going to the book store and being flooded with titles, so many in fact that the genre seemed boundless. These days I go to the bookstores and all I find are piles of fantasy books. Which is fine, perhaps even awesome for the fantasy people out there who's only choice up till then was the giant Hobbit book or the rather odd Conan serials.

But what about me? What about MY needs? Has the space-faring action books receeded into history, displaced forever by holideck-mind-nano-computery science fiction where the antagonist never leaves his room, let alone his chair? Cannot the ailing Starwars Series even bring back my beloved corner of sci-fi? Am I alone here? Help!
