It is ten years from now, the holiday season of 2030.  You are thinking about a present you might be getting for the holidays.  What is it?  Talk about how you did your holiday shopping? What is your job and how are you doing it?  What is your living situation and what are the major issues of the day?  Please make these questions relevant to any appropriate holidays you celebrate.                   It’s December 15 th , 2030 and I have a busy week of work. My cousin, Grant and I are working on completing our first every Christmas film. My mom and grandmother love the Hallmark channel, so in many ways it is for them.                 By December 20 th we finish the film and prepare to release it on Christmas day. I’ve known for months what I want for Christmas. Samsung has developed a cellphone that has as many features as a film camera including attachable lenses. I’ve been wanting this phone ever since I heard it was announced and I asked my parents to get it for me.            

               This book is basically the definition of sci-fi. It takes every element that you have read in a sci-fi book or seen in a sci-fi film. There are aliens, robots, space travel, evil aliens. The list goes on but it adds a twist to it. The book combines satire and sci-fi.                 Satires have become one of my favorite genres. I don’t know if there are too many satires that are made by people that don’t like the things they are making fun of. The creator of this story certainly likes sci-fi stories. You can’t really make a satire without knowing a lot about the subject you are making fun of.                 This story sounds so ridiculous but it really isn’t that far off from many sci-fi stories. Every one of these things can probably be found in some shape or form in another work. The great thing about this story is that it takes cliché sci-fi story tropes and turns them into something different.                 The story isn’t serious and never tries to take it
