The Sky is Falling

As technology and planning improves, death and destruction is mitigated by degrees, but the fact remains that we are still at the mercy of the Earth in all aspects. · Mark Carver

Are We Part of the Problem?

What is our responsibility as authors? Do we share any of the blame if our words put ideas into people’s heads or ignite the brittle underbrush that already exists in depraved minds and is just waiting for the spark? · Mark Carver

Imago Hominis

How sick would our society be when people actually prefer the company of soulless, factory-made machines to living, breathing people knit in the womb by God’s hands? · Mark Carver

In a Mirror Dimly

What would Christianity and a highly-digitized church look like in the future? · Mark Carver

The Cult of Personality

Now everything is out there like knickers on the clothesline, blowing in the wind and practically waving to the neighbors. · Mark Carver

Guns. Lots of Guns.

Guns are fun to shoot in real life and fun to watch on-screen. But they are just a tool. · Mark Carver

Down With the Sickness

The biggest threat to human existence rarely gets news coverage: it’s not North Korea, global warming, or white privilege; it’s disease. · Mark Carver

Why Do We Love Doctor Who?

When compared to modern heroes, Doctor Who stands out like a field of strawberries in the middle of a desert. What makes fans love this time traveling alien? · Zac Totah

Making The 13th Doctor A Woman: Terrible Move or Smart Choice?

Was casting a female Doctor a good move? What are some of the pros and cons of the decision? · Zac Totah

Earth Is Our Final Destination

I love to take hypothetical and speculative romps through the imagination but I consider myself to be a realist. I find the media and the public’s enthusiasm for the rather frequent discovery of “habitable” worlds to be silly groupthink excitement. · Mark Carver

Dun Dun Dun Dun Da-Dun Dun Da-Dun…

Hitler, and the whole Nazi Reich, were the perfect bad guys. Homogeneous (by their own efforts), sharply dressed in intimidating uniforms, a very eye-catching logo and distinct greeting gesture (quite the opposite of “Live Long and Prosper”), and a coldly mechanical and unstoppable war machine bent on global domination *evil laugh.* You can’t write a better fictitious villain or enemy if you tried. · Mark Carver

A Presidential Debate If Donald and Hillary Were Spec-fic Fans

Here’s how a presidential debate might look if Donald and Hillary were both yuuuuuge spec-fic fans. · Zac Totah

Body Count Vs. Human Cost

Unless violence and death happen to the main characters in a story, we rarely see and feel the human cost of those deaths, of the families left behind, of the children now orphaned, of the villages and kingdoms without their leaders, of the friends and lovers whose hearts ache for those they can never embrace again. · Mark Carver

The Pox? How Delightful, The Pox!

The apocalyptic horror that the Black Death unleashed upon the world is incomprehensible in our super-sanitized modern times, even though our entertainment is rife with zombies and bioterrorism and innocuous viruses that end up wiping out most of the population. · Mark Carver

Christian Speculative Fiction News Of Note

“You may sense my excitement for the future of Enclave, and for the genre as a whole.” Steve Laube · Rebecca LuElla Miller

A Hopeful Future

Understanding God’s creation can be a profound act of worship, and creating in order to engage our imaginations and benefit humanity is something to be celebrated. Science is not a threat to the Christian worldview, since God is the author of all truth. Anything that is discovered will lead to Him, and anything invented reflects the creativity inherent in all humans being made in His image. · Mark Carver

‘Human Beings Are A Disease’

Science fiction is packed with stories of leaders/aliens/robots/whatever trying to subdue humanity’s baser urges and make them docile, compliant, and soulless. Sometimes I wonder if that might not be a better option; drones don’t kill each other in the streets. · Mark Carver

Christians and The Can-Do Apocalypse

God is still God even if society goes down the toilet, and He doesn’t stop loving us or providing for us. · Mark Carver
