April Fool's got nothing on How Great Science Fiction Works! Get it for FREE with our The Great Courses coupon!

Awesome course!
It's April 1st, but I'm not fooling one bit with the awesome How Great Science Fiction Works that you can get with our The Great Courses coupon!

I'm reading a book right now I'm not loving, but it's totally sci fi. I wish the author had taken this course before writing it, and before I started reading.

I don't know why, but I find it impossible to put down a book once I start it, even if I'm hating it. I can stop reading if I'm super offended, but that rarely happens. If I just don't like it? I still keep reading. It's tragic.

So that's why I think anyone can benefit from this course. Professor Gary K. Wolfe will teach you about all kinds of great sci fi history and tropes and other fun things.

And once you know, you can judge sooner if you'll enjoy a book or not. Or a movie too. At the very least you will know if it's good pretty early on, and can decide if that's right for you.

If you want to watch bad sci fi once you know how great sci fi works, well that's your bag and I'm not going to stop you at all!

Awesome course!
Really, if you like scifi, you shouldn't wait another moment to get the How Great Science Fiction Works with our The Great Courses coupon!

Science fiction comes in a million different flavors. Some tinged with lots of sciencey science talk, some with a little fantasy. When I was young I love the mix of both. To be fair, when I was young I loved all kinds of reading.

But this course is taught by Professor Gary K. Wolfe, and you'll learn so much about tropes, necessary ways to deal with space and science. 

Why learn about how great science fiction works? I mean, if you're not a writer of sci fi why does it matter at all?  Good question, but honestly why wouldn't you want to know if you could. More information is better I always say.

Just think about it — what happens if the world ends and it's just you and all the processed foods you can eat and all the books you can read forever and ever. You might want to know right off the bat if what you're reading works!

This course can tell you that, and so much more!
