Here is a web radio station that broadcasts various music found in science fiction and fantasy presented on television and movies. Usually science fiction is visual in nature, and this site offers a new perspective that completes the full aesthetic appreciation of the genre.

 
The idea of utopia is one that upholds ideals but can also incorporate restrictions that have nothing to do with paradise. Each utopian narrative that tries to portray a perfect society can not cover all aspects of human existence, and so will always require certain aspects that are imperfect. The ideal must always be forced in order to be put into practice.

 
The deconstruction of law requires an understanding of the foundation of violence that begins not only a system of law but that undergirds the process of law and its enforcement. Justice can begin when there is the ability to see the other within a system of law as unique and to insure that the founding violence does not obscure this identity.

 
Thomas P.M. Barnett is a military stategic thinker who has described a new way of looking at the world in regards to terrorism. He makes a distinction betwen the integrated Core and the non-integrated Gap. It is in the Gap where democratic institutions have not developed and where the biggest opposition to the U.S. occurs. He argues that globalization allows connections that can foster democracy and make terrorism unnecessary within the Gap.

 
The idea of an arcology is of a city that is built in three dimensions in order to be compact and self-sustaining. This would result in everything being within walking distance and able to generate the city's own power using renewable sources. It can be a possible future for urban design that has already captured the imagination of fans of science fiction.

 
A land value tax is an alternative to property taxes where the land is taxed and not the structure built upon it. It allows for funding for local school districts while making it easier for homeowners to improve their houses. It is a fair and efficient tax since it can be applied generally without having to go through a complicated assessment process. It also can discourage blight and absentee landlordism since it is more cost effective to reside on the property and put it to use.

 
The sociology of power looks at how power is held and how it is used within society. Weber and Marx are very relevant to this analysis in that they both examine how society is structured along with the economic system. Power is exercised by those who are part of specific classes and shape the parts of the society as a whole in both of their studies.

 
In order for capitalism to thrive, it must rely on difference. This is the creation of artifical needs and desires that are based on what one does not have. It requires taking naturally occurring differences and making them serve economic ends through consumption and the dependency on wage-earning jobs to fuel consumption.

 
Anarchism is a method that seeks to do away with the structure of the state, since it is the main instrument of exploitation. However there is the question of whether inequality or basic differences would still exist. Anarchism can be realistically possible if pluralism is preserved. The anarchist society is not static but rather dynamic and is not preordained.
