	World-Building (Science Fiction Writing Series) by Stephen L. Gillett Buy used from: $8.99 STEP 2: Build scientifically and/or spiritually comprehensible world your characters are discovering--understand alien worldbuilding concepts so that you don't lose your viewers in dull, wacko, or way too farfetched ideas.
	Aliens and Alien Societies (Science Fiction Writing Series) by Stanley Schmidt Buy used from: $8.54 STEP 3: Show an alien society that is comprehensible from earthly point of view: culture, laws, religion(s), politics ... even if your world is "nothing-like-us!"
	The Writer's Guide to Creating a Science Fiction Universe by George Ochoa Buy used from: $0.79 STEP 4: Backup everything with good science by exposing major earthly scientific problems and mistakes, as well as threats, conspiracies, propaganda issues (such as racism, eugenics, universal evolution-creation debates, to name a few), etc.
	Time Travel: A Writer's Guide to the Real Science of Plausible Time Travel (Science Fiction Writing Series) by Paul J. Nahin Buy used from: $11.28 STEP 5: Show us the limitations of our "present science" and propose a solution to its "present problems" by presenting a time-travel jump into the future, where we know much more than we do today.
	The Science of Star Wars: An Astrophysicist's Independent Examination of Space Travel, Aliens, Planets, and Robots as Portrayed in the Star Wars Films and Books by Jeanne Cavelos Buy new: $10.85 / Used from: $2.30 STEP 6: Learn from the best, learning also how NOT to sound exactly like them--do not make yourself look like a cheap stealer/imitator of somebody else's plots and ideas.
	Beyond Einstein: The Cosmic Quest for the Theory of the Universe by Michio Kaku Buy new: $9.50 / Used from: $4.00 STEP 7: Always study the boundaries of our "earthly science" and be open for impossible and even illogical theories (like the Newton's idea that "nothing heavier than air can fly," for example, or that "time travel is impossible due to causality paradoxes")!
	Visions: How Science Will Revolutionize the 21st Century by Michio Kaku Buy new: $10.20 / Used from: $2.90 STEP 8: Keep youreslf armed and ready always to consider the "impossible" and "improbable" with free mind! Because, "what's stranger than the truth," especially if no one knows the "absolute truth" and "everything is relative?"
	Alternative Science: Challenging the Myths of the Scientific Establishment by Richard Milton Buy new: $12.71 / Used from: $4.98 READ this to widen your horizons toward the "pesent science" dilemma. See how stubborn and narrow-minded could our human "pursuit for knowledge" could be, at times!
	Beyond the Cosmos: What Recent Discoveries in Astronomy and Physics Reveal About the Nature of God by Hugh Ross Buy used from: $0.64 READ this to know what is "unconventional thinking," which is not so illogical yet is unwelcome in the modern "scientific community." This book can help you develop greater sci-fi ideas than those "dry science" plots we have on the market today! Keep in mind, ALL sci-fi sensations incorporate "alien religions" (Star Wars, Babylon 5, Star Trek DS-9, Heroes, etc.)
	Uriel's Machine: Uncovering the secrets of Stonehenge, Noah's Flood and the dawn of civilization by Christopher Knight Buy used from: $10.95 READ this to see how many ideas are begging to become blockbuster movies similar to "Time Machine," yet with a different approach to the subject. Wanna give it a try and develop a nice movie script and then send it to Spielberg?
	The Battle of Beginnings: Why Neither Side Is Winning the Creation-Evolution Debate by Delvin Lee Ratzsch Buy new: $13.60 / Used from: $0.99 I would love to see this one filmed in the spirit of "Contact" as well, showing finally that our "terrestrial science" deals with many assumptions and weird hypothesis about the unseen-yet parallel universes!
	Titan A.E. [VHS] Buy used from: $0.01 One of the best example of what I think sci-fi should be: a) all-meaningful, b) apocalyptical, c) posta-pocalyptic!
	The Iron Giant [VHS] Buy used from: $0.01 See that "presnet science" and "present knowledge" cannot explain everything! And see how an average kid can change all that!
	Akira (Dub) [VHS] Buy used from: $0.99 One of the best SF animes ever!
	Ghost in the Shell (Dub) [VHS] Buy used from: $0.49 One of the best SF anime series out there!
	Stargate [VHS] Buy used from: $0.01 The best example of what an SF epic should incorporate!
	Contact [VHS] Buy used from: $0.01 The best SF depicting the widely-misunderstood "conflict" between science and faith.
	Timecop [VHS] Buy used from: $0.01 The best time-travel SF story ever!
