  4. I found a lot of interesting information. There were a lot of prominent authors in the decade I'm researching. While I was looking at a list of all the most important science fiction, I was interested to see that by each of the author's name was their religious affiliation. The slideshow mentioned that religion was a part of science fiction a while ago, and it was interesting for me to see that it clearly still is. When I research specific authors more thoroughly it will be interesting to see if their personal religious views leeked into the stories they wrote.
