What do you think of when this genre is mentioned, do you have a positive or negative mental image?
Positive. I am a big fan of science fiction and fantasy.
Do you gravitate to this genre, or stay clear?
I gravitate towards it.

What is your favorite piece?
Some of my favorites
-A Clockwork Orange
-Anthem by Ayn Rand
-Herland by Charlotte Perkins Gilman

Do you have any treasured childhood memories on the topic?
I was so enthralled by Ayn Rand's "Anthem" at 12 years old. It was a dystopian world, three years before Orwell's 1984. Although I was born in the 80s, I remember watching old twilight zone episodes back to back. Many twilight zone episodes were inspired by short works of science fiction.

How do you view the portrayal of women by the genre? strong female types in sci fi FILMS comes to mind.
Lisa in the Omega man, Sarah Connor in Terminator & Terminator 2, Dana Scully in The X-Files, Princess Leia Organa in Star Wars, Leeloo in The Fifth Element, Ellen Ripley in Alien films, Trinity in The Matrix, etc.

-Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? aka Blade Runner
-The Time Machine H.G. Wells
-No Exit by Jean-Paul Sartre
-Brave New World, a book by Aldous Huxley
-Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
