Look to the Sky Riley Mellen

Look to the Sky is a collection of original short stories authored by the Lehigh University Eckardt Scholars Class of 2015. The stories originally were culmination of the Scholars' freshman seminar, in which we studied sociology through the lens of science fiction. The short stories share two unifying traits: they explore sociological themes (that were the focus of the class) through the genre of science fiction. Outside of that core similarity, the themes and science fiction concepts present are as diverse as the authors themselves. Look to the Sky contains fifteen original short stories, all first written as a part of the Eckardt Freshman Seminar. The book was published in its entirety as an endeavor of six student co-editors and the wonderful staff of CreateSpace. The authors (and editors) would like to thank the Eckardt Scholars Program for giving us the opportunity to publish our works, and CreateSpace for being helpful through every phase of the process.
