Top 5 Sci-Fi Settings
from The Top 5 Podcast Hosted by Zach Rancourt/Thom Lockhart/Eric Schoen
Science Fiction means so many things all at once. It is a catalyst for creativity and inquiry, and through its creation of alternate realities, it serves as a mirror to reflect where we are today. The setting is itself a main character in any Sci-Fi story as it is the all-important binding element that makes the story possible. A Sci-Fi show set a few centuries in the future would undoubtedly have to project our path forward and explain how we got to that point, whether it’s a positive view of the future, or a totally dystopian one. Or perhaps you like a book with a retro-futuristic setting with an alternative history like Steampunk blending the Victorian Age with fantastic clockwork machines. Or it could depart from anything remotely related to realism in its embrace of science-wizardry. Today we are discussing our Top 5 Sci-Fi Settings. To enhance our discussion, we didn’t share our lists with each other and by no means are we experts in this or any other category. We are just a few dudes who like to discuss nonsense. The Top 5 Podcast is hosted by Zach Rancourt, Eric Schoen, and Thomas Lockhart. It is available on Apple, Google, Pandora, Spotify, Amazon, TuneIn, and Podbean. We appreciate your fandom!
