Falling out of fashion
Apr. 27th, 2008 11:19 amI'm currently reading (and enjoying) Louise Marley's Singer in the Snow, set in a frozen 'lost colony' world where there are people who channel psi-powers through music.
Nothing directly about the book itself but it made me think about how tropes in sf go in and out of fashion. When was the last time you read a book that feature psi-powers as a major part of the story? I'm struggling to think of anything I've read in recent years. The last thing I can think of which features psionics as a major part of the story was the television show Babylon 5, which is a few years ago now.
