	Science fiction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The broader category of speculative fiction (first suggested by Robert A. Heinlein) includes science fiction, fantasy, alternate histories (which often have no particular scientific or futuristic component), and even literary stories in which the only fantastic element is the strangeness of their style.
		Science fiction has often been concerned with the great hopes people place in science but also with their fears concerning the negative side of technological development; the latter is expressed in the classic theme of the hubristic scientist who is destroyed by his own creation.
		Science fiction television dates from at least as early as 1938, when the BBC staged a live performance of the science fiction play R.U.R. The first regularly scheduled SF series to achieve a degree of popularity was Captain Video and his Video Rangers, which ran from 1949 to 1955 on the American DuMont Network.

		Atlanta was largely destroyed by Union forces during the Civil War, but was chosen as the state capital in 1868, having been established as the site of command for Union soldiers and the Reconstruction administration.
		Atlanta has such a great economic impact on the state and the surrounding region that cities and towns up to 60 miles away are considered 'exurbs', defined by the fact that people depend on their livelihoods by commuting to work in the city, rapidly growing what is called Metro Atlanta.
		Atlanta is home to the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl which is played at the Georgia Dome and matches a SEC team against an ACC opponent, as well as the SEC Championship Game in football annually, as well as hosting the basketball and gymnastics championships on several occasions.

	Atlanta Nights by Travis Tea (Book) in Books > Fiction & Literature > Humorous Fiction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Atlanta Nights is a book that could only have been produced by an author well-versed in believable storylines, set in conditions that exist today, with believable every-day characters.
		"Atlanta Nights" is funny, the story behind it is hysterical, and it is serving a very worthwhile purpose out in the literary community, something you yourself would be well advised to emulate.
		“Atlanta Nights” is a book which has a lot in common with the song except for the words “Oh” and “Nights.” It is a collaborative effort featuring some of the finest literary minds since “Naked Came the Stranger,” which could also be a pun if your mind was in naughty mode.

	Fiction Factor - Review of Atlanta Nights by Travis Tea
		When I first opened the science fiction ebook "Atlanta Nights", I already had a wicked idea in my head of what to expect.
		You see, Travis Tea is not a "person", but rather a pseudonym created by 5 very talented (and very published) science fiction authors, who banded together to create Atlanta Nights and submit the completed work to Publish America with every intention of getting the book published.
		All work remains the property of Fiction Factor, unless expressly granted by written permission from the author.

	BookPage Fiction Review: Leaving Atlanta
		Tayari Jones' new novel, Leaving Atlanta, takes place in 1979, around the time of the infamous murders of African-American children in Atlanta, but this powerful new novel isn't what you might think.
		To her credit, Jones doesn't present us with the point of view of the murderer; the bloodiest thing that happens is a busted lip from a playground fall.
		Leaving Atlanta, which deals with the effects of serial murder, is simply brilliant—a gentle and beautiful book on a horrific subject.

		Carmen Green moves smoothly from romance into mainstream women's fiction with a poignant and powerful novel about three friends learning the high price of success and the true value of friendship.
		The co-hosts have a seemingly perfect rapport with their audience, until a single flippant response starts a chain of events that changes how they perceive themselves and each other.
		Green has successfully made the transition from romance to fiction with her usual style and pizzazz!

	Publisher description for Library of Congress control number 2001052474 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		She juxtaposes beauty and brutality in a stunning amalgam of pyrotechnic noir poetry to match James Ellroy, lush meditativeness that recalls Barbara Kingsolver, and hard-boiled moral conviction worthy of Andrew Vachss.
		And she develops her hero, Aud, bristling with emotional complexity and barely suppressed violence, into one of the most fascinating protagonists in fiction today.
		She layers an array of different elements – urban tension and pastoral beauty, complex characters and white-knuckled narrative suspense, lyric prose and visceral violence – into a novel of depth, subtlety, and riveting noir storytelling.
