Jules Verne is even a Geni member.. http://www.geni.com/search?search_type=people&names=Jules+Gabri...
We can create a profile for someone as prominent as Arthur Clarke. I see Wikipedia calls him one of the "big three" Sci Fi writers.
"Arthur C. Clarke was a British science fiction author, inventor, and futurist, famous for his short stories and novels, among them 2001: A Space Odyssey, and as a host and commentator in the British television series Mysterious World.
For many years, Robert A. Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, and Arthur C. Clarke were known as the "Big Three" of science fiction."
Wow, Kenneth - that's a great idea - Get hold of Hatte - she has Phillip K Dick connections.
One of my Honours dissertations was on wherher there could be said to be a correlation between Sci-Fi/ Fantasy & the masculine/ feminine archetypes - so I'd love to be added to the project.
Eldon is saying that there is no Heinlein on the tree yet.
The main problem with this project is like others that they might include a lot of people that by default falls in under someones privacy range and cannot be added to a project unless the manager agrees on making the profile public.
Amanda, - thanks for releasing Jules Verne
How have you got mixed up in the Sehmi Family Tree?
This site is exclusively a Sehmi Family Tree and all in it come from Punjab, India and are Indians either born there or in Kenya and England.
Suggest you start a separate tree in your own names.

Narindra Singh (Nindi) Sehmi, - first of all: YOU are interfering a PUBLIC project discussion in this project http://www.geni.com/projects/Sci-Fi-Science-fiction. If this was not your intention you can delete your message and click Unfollow on both this discussion and the Project.
How you ended up here is a mystery...
Secondly, - Geni is a place for building a world family tree, so there is no room for separate trees.
Sorry, I pointed to the wrong project: This discussion topic is a project discussion of: http://www.geni.com/projects/The-Hollywood-Walk-of-Fame
Anyhow, it is a public project but I would like to know how you concluded that it was mixed up in the Sehmi Family Tree.
"Sci-fi" is an abbreviation for the term "science fiction."
There's a very nice definition of "science fiction" on the project "overview" here:

I replied to Narindra Sigh that we are all related whether we like or not! This is what faction tells us with the revellations of the Genome Project. As for Science Fiction in literature or theatre; film; or any other Art form, it is real science and scientific theory mixed in with fictional stories for the entertainment of human beings on earth. I love "Contact" the film which I saw again last night for the third time; the 1950 film "War of the Worlds" and the later version as well. The first version is so typical of it's time and also ties in with "Superman" which I first read as a child in the early 1950 in Kenya East Africa.
