#
Hard SF begins in the realm of pure logic, extrapolating scientific ideas into credible near futures. But the greatest Hard SF by writers like Arthur C Clarke, Ursula Le Guin and William Gibson weaves stories of poetic beauty.
What makes a great Hard SF story?
The factor that raises a classic SF novel like The Fountains of Paradise by Arthur C Clarke up to greatness isn't the tech, the concepts or even the science.
It's the poetry.
A condensed workshop in the poetic tools of metaphor, symbolism, allegory and more for writers of Hard SF.
