I Get Misty

By John David Hanna

I Get Misty is real science fiction, hard science fiction, the way it was designed by the greats. Pohl, Clarke, Asimov to name a few of many. I can't define it better than this quote from MasterClass 'a subgenre of science fiction writing that emphasizes scientific accuracy and precise technical detail as part of its world-building'.

Today, when I submit stories to what once were hard SF magazines or publishers, I often get reminders that the buyers want character driven manuscripts with emphasis on validation of one side of current social trends. Blasphemy The science is the story and the characters turn the theories into an interesting read

By some accounts Misty may be boring, white bread, dull. She isn't clinically depressed, gender indecisive, suicidal, chemical dependent or involved in an abusive relationship. These traits would distract from the story, the science.

She is surrounded by a frisky PG college environment but learns and moves into an associated career balancing a healthy married relationship while commanding satisfaction when immersed in various circumstances by Joey, the artificial intelligence who has noticed and then recruits her into service. Her wholesome core serves her and humanity well as she confronts human and alien atrocities with balanced strength achieving correct outcomes.

I consider Misty a role model. Many SF novels of the past are credited with recruiting people into STEM careers. Maybe this book will do the same, especially for women. There is no reason men, young men, will dislike the book because it features a female hero.
