Re: Science fiction technology and magic

Magic all the way. I love fantasy elements even in my scifi. I mean, I like tech, but for me I only like it as far as a way to tell a story. I don't care about technology for its own sake. Just being used as an element to tell a story, playing the same role magic does. I'm more interested in character/culture exploration. I don't really do a whole lot of hard scifi.

I like it best with less explanation. It is for me just a prop to tell a good story. I like it a lot when different cultures have different tech, an the canon explores that and what that means in terms of inter-cultural interactions. I like magic-like tech, tech/magic integration, and magic-like tech (lightsabers, the TARDIS, a lot of the MCU stuff).

With magic I'm honestly happy as long as it makes sense in-universe. Magic is fun to me, I like all different kinds. And while I'm not into tech explanation, I do find magic explanations a lot of fun. When there are rules that are consistent and the author teases out how the magic works in that particular world. But I also like magic that has less rules and just works, as long as it makes some inner sense.
