Science Fiction!
I discovered science fiction in the school library. An Arthur C Clarke anthology called Of Time And Stars. Space! Aliens! Like Star Wars, but in a book. I picked up the Star Wars novelization shortly afterwards, and looked at the color pictures in the middle, trying to figure out why some of the shots weren’t in the movie. (They turned out to be conceptual paintings rather than photos. I have one of them hanging on the wall by the phone these days).
Science fiction and computers. I wonder where I’d be if I hadn’t bumped into these things at an early age.
