What is it about sci-fi that keeps us coming back?

Why do we love the things that we love? Maybe it’s something instinctual in us that we can’t help. Or maybe it’s a sense of taste that we’ve refined over time. Or maybe it’s a mix of the two, and the stuff we love the most comes at the intersection between them. All we know is that we love what we love and we’re not going to apologize for it. Even if our interests are what some might call geeky, we don’t care. We will get called geeks until the cows come home as long as we can enjoy our fandom. There is nothing wrong with being a nerd. Being a nerd just means that you care about stuff, and what’s cooler than caring?
