Last year I and my kids really enjoyed Discovery. It was every Sunday night the kids would remind me to play the stream as soon as it was available. Many a late night to bedtime had happened because of it.

If you’ll indulge me, I’m going to borrow the idea of eras from science. These eras are independent of genre as genres are closely tied to the human condition at the time rather than the technology to produce story. I expect that the eras will continue to change faster as we speed toward the Singularity.  I offer free a poster of how the seminal work of a new scifi-genre  maps into an era.

It's the early 1800s and before Rudolf Diesel and Henry Ford. Electricity is still a lab experiment. But it doesn't matter. We don't need any of what those guys were selling. The true motors of Innovation are started with firing up a boiler, copper or brass tubing, and driving pistons of power.

It was the 1960s.  Young science fiction readers and writers were tired of the usual space travel and adventure tales.  They yearned to read something that used what was happening around them which was too edgy for the earlier fiction which tended to be cleaned up for young adult readers.
