I'm the September guest columnist for author Sharon Lynn Fisher's newsletter and my topic is superhuman sci-fi romance! Here's a peek:
To Love a Superhuman
"Superhuman" sounds pretty nifty, but what exactly
does it mean? The term has traditionally described a sub-category of science
fiction tales that feature
"…the emergence of humans who have abilities beyond the norm." Sounds
intriguing and even a bit mysterious, yes?
Superhuman characters are plentiful in SF and you'll
encounter them in a variety of settings--space opera, cyberpunk, steampunk,
near-future, etc. Most people are familiar with superhuman SF as expressed in
the superhero genre. Superheroes are pretty much all superhuman, all the time.
Other types of superhuman characters are more subtle in nature and include
characters such as telepaths, genetically engineered people, and cyborgs.
