Sci-Fi Throwdown
Welcome to Sci-Fi Throwdown! At one time, the genre of science fiction was not considered serious literature, the stuff of mostly pulp magazines and mere entertainment.

As former philosophy students now involved in the corporate world, we hope to contribute to this trend by interpreting and analyzing work within the genre.
