Are Zombies People? — The Morality of Zombies
An unusual question rings its ugly head. Earlier this week, I had a discussion with a guy who believed that morality in a post-zombie-apocalypse world was absolute. That is that the lines are clearly drawn: zombies are bad, humans are good, and “killing” zombies is not a moral issue. There are huge problems with this […]
Science Fiction and Reptiles: A Very Strange Email, Updates, and a Question
(There are two sections for this post. The first is about SF and reptiles and the second is on updates about what I’m up to and a question that I’d appreciate answers for.) I.
