Edward Kukla (that would be me!) has been a research Biologist, Mathematician, Software Engineer and a reader of Science Fiction for the last 55+ years. Now that my focus is on secondary education for the foreseeable future, I would really like to make sure that there is a sustainable future for all the current denizens of the secondary education classroom. Here is the question: Does Science Fiction have measurable value for those that read it, or is it just vacuous entertainment? I believe in the former.
