Science Fiction Hall of Fame


The Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame awarded it's latest inductees not too long ago. Neil Gaiman was the master of ceremonies (where he said, "I think the joy of science fiction is that it's minimizing future shock..." I'm not sure I agree with him that that's the joy of science fiction, but whatever...) Looking at the complete list of inductees, it raises some questions. Who would your completely biased & sentimental choice be if you had to choose only one most deserving nominee from this list? Who would you induct instead of someone else on this list? See anyone you would leave off this list? Oh, jeez, this is starting to sound like an essay question where you have to fill up your blue book. I should go to bed now...
