Why Hawaii? credible meaningful

[Terrance]

We say, "But the world isn't like that." These genres, by insisting on
what is contrary to fact, fail to be Serious enough, and so they get
redlined under the label "escapist fare."

This is especially unfortunate in the case of science fiction, in which
the decade after Hiroshima saw one of the most remarkable flowerings of
literary talent and, quite often, genius, in our history. It was just as
important as the Beat movement going on at the same time, certainly more
important than mainstream fiction, which with only a few exceptions had
been paralyzed by the political climate of the cold war and McCarthy
years.
