Making Science Fiction into Reality

Posted on by

All of us have a little “geek” hidden deep within the inner recesses of our psyche. It is that geek side of us that gets excited every time there is a Star Wars marathon on television or the latest fantasy blockbuster movie is released into theaters. It is that geek in all of us that always wanted to know how laser guns might become a reality some day or if we might eventually figure out to beam a human being from one location to another.

In the meantime, there are true “geeks” making fantasy into reality through models and replicas, as highlighted in Sci-Fi and Fantasy Modeller Magazine. The latest volume, for example, showcases a model of the Batmobile – Dark Knight style – as well as a lunar module model for the upcoming movie, Moon.

For volume 14 as well as a few previous volumes, check out the Happy Medium Press Library on YUDU.com. Better yet, share some of your own “geeky” interests on YUDU.com.

Most of us remember where we were the day the Berlin wall fell. We all knew we were witnessing something special, something historic. However, it is not often that we get to hear the first hand account of those who witnessed the fall of the Iron Curtain first hand and those grew up in its shadow.

Now on YUDU.com is the uncorrected proof version of “The Wall in My Head: Words and Images From the Fall of the Iron Curtain.” This compelling anthology is a collection fiction, essays, images, and historical documents that reflect on this momentous occasion which occurred 2 decades ago. According to the description, “The Wall In My Head provides a unique view into the change, optimism, and confusion that came with 1989 and examines how each of these has weathered the twenty years since that fateful year.”

To read “The Wall In My Head” and other compelling works, visit YUDU.com and explore the library. You’re bound to find something that grabs you. Tell us about some of your favorite works on YUDU.
