Can anyone recall a science fiction short story, novel or otherwise which involves either the main character, or a prominent character being homeless?
I go along with Veingloree here; that the main character is homeless isn't in itself particularly interesting--it seems to me the character's homlessness would be secondary to the premise--unless the homelessness is crucial to the plot.How compelled would you be to read a sci-fi story featuring a homeless person as the main character? Is that a lifestyle you're in any way curious about?
Then I say, do it.It's not the focus of the plot... though it serves a purpose. Plus it gives me an opportunity to provide the reader with a perspective of humanity not common in sci-fi.
