New Perceptions


Theme Logo



Many science fiction writers believe we have inherent abilities in extra-sensory perception, and portray the development of these "PSI" powers through mutation and technology.

Phyllis Gotlieb and A.E. van Vogt have written many works about telepathic characters and how their abilities affect their lives. Telepathy and extrasensory perception are also frequent themes in the films of David Cronenberg.
