Just like the Reader’s Digest, I think it it pays to increase your word power. Question is, how do you do it for science fiction, specifically? I ran across this list and decided to pass it along for Sci-Friday #49. Here are the first eleven:
- Alderson disk (n.)
- arcology (n.)
- areography (n.)
- astrogate (v.)
- avatar (n.)
- Bernal sphere (n.)
- chrononaut (n.)
- Clarke ring (n.)
- Clarke’s First Law (n.)
- Clarke’s Second Law (n.)
- Clarke’s Third Law (n.)
Sound good so far? Keep reading, and gain:
