Why Science Fiction is cool


Science Fiction is an existential metaphor that allows us to tell stories about the human condition. Issac Asimov once said; individual Science Fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinder critics and philosophers of today, but the core of Science Fiction, its essence has become crucial to our salvation, if we are to be saved at all.

Hmmm, do you ever read Harvey, on my links list? Is he science fiction? A kiwi for sure, a poet but a sci-fi I think too. I like that quote, just btw.
