Science Fiction and the Human Question

Avatar. The Avengers. Iron Man 3. Transformers: Dark of the Moon. The Dark Knight Rises. These are five of the top ten all-time highest grossing movies. Their (arguable) inclusion in the Science Fiction canon begs a question of the genre: is it just the spectacle that we shell out to witness, or is there some more primitive itch that these kinds of events scratch? This blog is dedicated to figuring out how it is that Science Fiction addresses the problem of defining "human."
