i just finished Jupiter by Ben Bova and i'm currently reading Verdant Pioneers by MR alum Steven Lyle Jordan.
these are along the lines of what i'm looking for. in Jupiter's case, the sense of wonder and exploration. in Verdant's case, hope and normal people in the face of disaster. yes theres a bad situation on earth but nobody is devolving into savagery,they aren't cracking each other's heads open or boiling babies because food is getting harder to find.
i think there's a balance but sometimes i think it's simply easier to be negative than look for any silver lining.
and +1 to sabredog, babylon 5 was my favorite sci-fi show of all time. it's one of the few shows my dad and i shared and the continuing storyline was awesome. i cried like a baby during the last episode lol.
