7:35 Cultural Ambassador - Science Fiction
Our sci-fi geek, Eleanor Tremeeer is back - tonight she's taking a look at Spirituality In Sci-Fi - the intersection between mythology, folklore, religion, and Sci-Fi. Although we think of Sci-Fi as being purely scientific, these aspects have laid the foundation for some of Sci-Fi's most iconic works. Battlestar Galactica, Ursula Le Guin's novels, even Star Wars all draw from centuries of spirituality and mysticism.
