Science Fiction Day
There is nothing quite like a rag-tag group aboard a rogue spaceship finding out that the real adventure was the friends they made along the way. For National Science Fiction Day, let's talk about everyone's favourite trope: Found Family.
Found Family, or Chosen Family, centres around the theme of a group of (oftentimes lonely) people coming together in the face of adversity. Some fan-favourite Found Family stories in the Science Fiction genre are, of course, Star Wars, Firefly and Star Trek. Check out the list below for some more recommendations!
