John Elliot, the guy who introduced me into the scary world of web development has recently developed Science-Fictions – a website devoted to science fiction literature, utilising the Amazon web services. Being a huge fan of sci-fi books, I had to run and take a look (and of course, all of my favourite authors were there).

The design of the website is very true to the genre, which is quite aesthetically pleasing. It’s nice and quick, too, and easy to navigate. Whether the prices are direct from Amazon’s catalogue, or if they’re at a slightly discounted price because they’re on a website using Amazon web services, I don’t know – but they seem very fair either way. There’s an abundance of books available (as one would hope), too – which are browse-able by author, alongside literature being featured on the homepage.

The website has only just launched, so a review is to be had of the functionality, and no doubt several features will be integrated as time passes. For now though – go and check out Science-Fictions for all of your science fiction books, make some suggestions and maybe even sit down with a book. You know, like you used to…
