				 Several of the most imaginative minds in science fiction (and science) gathered at this year's <a href="http://www.readercon.org/">Readercon</a> to discuss a fundamental question of our existence:  Why does it seem like we're alone in the universe? Writers Jeff Hecht, Steven Popkes, Robert J. Sawyer, Ian Randal Strock, and Michael A. Burstein offered their recommendations for the best fictional explorations of this question, commonly known as the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_paradox">Fermi paradox</a>. See their picks, and find out more about one of the greatest paradoxes in human existence.				<a href="http://io9.com/5028035/why-arent-aliens-talking-to-us" title="Click here to read more about Why Aren't Aliens Talking to Us?">More&nbsp;&raquo;</a>
