What are your thoughts on science fiction?
I’ve met several people who absolutely despise science fiction writing, but never really say exactly why. I think that some books, like the Foundation trilogy by Asimov and 1984 by George Orwell are absolute works of art. I’m just trying to get some opinions. Whether you do or don’t like it, why? If you do, what’s your favorite book?

Can I get sued for writing a novel about someone I know without getting their permission first?
The novel itself will be a fictional account of something that really happened. If a person recognizes themselves as a character in my story can they take legal action against me? More importantly, can they win?
The main antagonist in my story is starting to seem more and more like an ex-friend/boss of mine. The real bummer is that his personality is so generic that I would have probably wrote it the same way even if I had never met him.
