Science fiction may be a polarizing genre of literature because it conjures up images of pulp fiction monsters and crater littered landscapes.
But the popularity of movies such as "Martian," the Terminator franchise,Star Wars and Star Trek in all their variations, and the enduring appeal of classics such as "Blade Runner" and "2001, A Space Odyssey," suggest there is a large group of people who would enjoy Sci-Fi but haven't gone there yet.
