Re: Fantasy or sci-fi living?

That dynamism what what I was trying to get at though. My point was more to the fact that the separation between the two genres these days is really starting to be much less elves/wizards/knights vs. aliens/robots/scientists than it traditionally has been. Which... on the surface is probably a step in the right direction since either cliche is pretty done to death by this point.

But in my opinion it also means we're starting to see more of a blending to the point where it's sort of difficult to concretely state where one genre begins and the other ends, especially considering you can pretty much use "it was science!" or "it was magic!" as more or less interchangeable forces.

And while I'd really like to agree with you about the level of understanding the reader is supposed to have about magic vs. technology, I'm not entire sure that holds up. In theory it does, but in practice? How many people reading science fiction really have a good idea of how science works? I'm not sure if Hard Sci Fi is back in vogue again or what though, so feel free to edify here.
