Blog Set #3

In addition to our course essential questions and your own reader response, you can also reflect on the following questions for this week's readings: 

"That Only a Mother" by Judith Merril
The story’s setting (a modest middle-class home) is very different from most science fiction locales. How does the world of science/technology impinge on this domestic landscape?

"We See Things Differently"by Bruce Sterling
How can we tell that the near-future America depicted in this story is in economic and social decline? What global events have led to this “gloom-and-doom” situation? 



Remember that both stories need to be addressed. You can address them individually or put them in conversation with each other or other stories. 

A note about comments: Remember that comments should add value to the post. It is an on-going conversation, and your job is to keep that conversation going.
