My father used to say that the road to drug abuse didn't start with pot, or smoking, or even alcohol.
"It all begins with milk," he'd say.
The funnel that leads to a life of science fiction fanaticism is not quite so broad, but there sure are a lot of entry points. For instance, one can't read the newspaper without some update on the Space Race or a new drug. Sci-fi movies, while often terrible, are ubiquitous. Science fiction novels are starting to take off just as the monthly digests are at their nadir. Marvel Comics has launched several new sf-related titles. Conventions are increasing in number. Yes, the tentacles of fandom are many, indeed.
