I realized that last week’s scavenger hunt posts neglected half of my favorite genre fiction, so here’s a post to make up for that:
What items should appear on a Science Fiction Novel Scavenger Hunt?
Some suggestions to get things started:
- One Big Dumb Object
- One improbably brilliant genius scientist who is able to both invent a new Theory of Everything and use it to build a time machine/ star drive/ whatever in his basement lab
- One book offering a “scientific” explanation for some “paranormal” phenomenon
- One alien planet consisting of a single ecosystem
- One reference to special relativity
- One reference to quantum mechanics
- One alien race with godlike powers
What else?
