Science Fiction The setting is generally in the future, sometimes near future but also quite often in the far future, though in many cases the setting bears no connection to the world we live in, e.g. Star Wars. Common elements involve futuristic technology, contact with alien life forms, experimental societies, and space travel. Psionic abilities (i.e. ESP and telekinesis) often take the place of magic.	27	5	Jan 15 2008, 05:48 PM In: DUNE: Wheels Within Wheels By: mandor1784
