I love Sci-Fi – my first memory is of watching Star Wars with my father, and as a genre it's something that has gripped me for years – although I don't read quite as much Sci-Fi as I used too. For a genre so broad, it's understandable that there will be trends and themes that become popular over the years, but in recent times we seem to be in a real wave of dark, gritty, violent sci-fi that entertains but perhaps misses the spark of joy that so turned me on to Science Fiction in the first place.
