Metaverse Library - Sci Fi Exhibit May 2013 | Page 25

There are many surprises in the external exhibits . Snoots put up Stargate portals to builds you don ' t see at the ground level .

The plasma reactors , the rare Dalek who gives out popcorn , and the musical robot are all fascinating builds from Snoots .

Snoots says : Some of the items are based on existing Sci Fi genres ( such as the Dalek from Doctor Who , the Stargate , and the Robot from Doctor Steel , Rocketship X-1 and Robby Robot ). Others are original concepts .

Science fiction is the most important literature in the history of the world , because it ' s the history of ideas , the history of our civilization birthing itself . ... Science fiction is central to everything we ' ve ever done , and people who make fun of science fiction writers don ' t know what they ' re talking about .”
