I have a definite interest in lurking in this group, and watching the discussions.

But I also have an idea for a different kind of discussion...

There are many stories which tread the same idea space. What I'd like to see, is people discussing a variety of approaches that have been taken to a specific topic.

Say, for example, we take the topic 'Androids as humans'. There are a variety of stories, from Blade Runner to Ex Machina, that approach the idea and present it in different ways.

It would be possible to set up a series of questions/topics that would inspire us to discuss how the different stories address or deal with a common theme or issue.

It's more work, but might invite more participation, and a broader discussion on sci-fi as a form.
