1. We heard it was easier to break in.
2. We ate Robert Heinlein and really grok him.
3. We were promised flying cars and jetpacks. This is the closest we’ll get.
4. We’re doomed. Let’s imagine what our future would be…with a world robot government.

6. We’re incapable of writing anything else.
7. We love aliens. More than girls. Aliens want to probe us.

10. You get to play dress-up at the conventions.
