The New Yorker has a lovely sci-fi short story up by Jonathan Lethem that you may enjoy. Go read Lostronaut - it's sad and poetic.

If you want to get an impression of how the game Mass Effect (which I reviewed in a previous post) makes you feel, go listen to the end song from the soundtrack. It perfectly encapsulates the scope and dramatic feel of the game's storyline. It's called M4 (Part II) and is by a group called Faunts. If you like techno, I promise you, you won't regret spending 99 cents on this song. Buy it here: M4 (Part II)
