One of my favourite things about writing SFR is the opportunity to build futuristic, fictional worlds where space travel is a common thing, AI exist in different forms, complicated relationships are everywhere, and there's always some sort of trouble brewing.
When it comes to Sci-Fi, although I love the endless possibilities of technology and space travel, if the character interaction is missing, the story falls flat. I love to focus on relationships and friendships, and they don't always have to be human.
What about you? Are you only in it for the tech, or do you also like the human angle in Sci-Fi?
Now, there's an arena warrior with a bloodlust problem in Shiver...

Hmm, tough questions - I write scifi because I love a bit a tech, but it really is more the characters that I connect with. So the human angle I guess.
I like the human angle more than the tech. Tech is needed to support the story but for me the story is about humans.

Without the human angle, I might as well read a science journal - at least I'll learn something. When I read SF, I want to see the interaction of people with the tech.

I love the human element especially with space cowboys, shapeshifters, and aliens. Thanks for the giveaway. I am looking forward to reading your book. evamillien at gmail dot com.
I enjoy both, but the human angle is probably the more important one (if I had to pick just one). For me, sometimes there can be too much tech and not enough of the human element.
The tech is "supporting actor" to the human element of the story.
Thanks for the amazing giveaway!

I go for the human angle every time!
I like the human to be the main one. But Tech HAS to be a major part of the story as well if I am reading that genre of book. (: There is a formula in my head. lol. I have no idea what it is. (: Thanks for participating!
I really think they are equal. The human element is very important to the story but I need the tech too or I would read some other romance genre.
A bit of both. Without the human angle how can there be romance? But without the tech/science angle it wouldn't be scifi!

I like the the human angle interacting with the tech angle. I want both!
Tech is fun but the human angle *has* to be there...especially in sci-fi romance! I love the name Harrow for your world, very cool.
like both
