The Search For Love - Part 1

Finding Love, sex, relationships - It can be really exciting and fun and it can be tough. We look to sci fi to see if it can help us with this eternal human quest. What does sci fi even know about love?

This is a two-parter: In part 1 - we look at how people look for love today with that SciFi Eye. In Part 2 - to be published soon - we look at how Science Fiction examine the search for love, and what can we learn from it about ourselves. Show Notes:  Links
