I read way too much. Do you have any idea what you'd like to set as your own path to follow on this?

Good gravy...
I don't know. I don't really have any preference. Like I said, I can write about anything. Point me in a direction and I'm off, so to speak.
Maybe a run through Ender's Game and making the connection with modern military training and its future....but then where would you go?
Maybe discuss Verne and how a lot of the technology in his book has made its way into the modern world and then connect it to modern sf and the technology of the future.
I really don't know.
