The Nature of Reality: Three Positions

This site http://www.chemistrycoach.com/nature_of_reality.htm contains perspectives on the nature of reality from writers of fiction, scientists, and philosophers. This same idea can be applied to the four positions of perceived reality in the novel Hey Nostradamus! The four characters all have different experiences, reactions, and thoughts about the same event which is similar to the above website which contains very different perspectives of reality that are tied to the perceivers point of reference. Here is an example from one of our course writers William Gibson in regards to speculative fiction"Anyone who thinks science fiction is about the future is being naive. Science fiction doesn't predict the future; it determines it, colonizes it, preprograms it in the image of the present." In other words speculative fiction is a reflection of the present not some unknowable future reality.
