The Underrated, Universal Appeal of Science Fiction

[Antonin Scriabin]

I'm reminded of this quote from Bruce Sterling: "If poets are the
unacknowledged legislators of the world, science fiction writers are its
court jesters. We are Wise Fools who can leap, caper, utter prophecies, and
scratch ourselves in public. We can play with Big Ideas because the garish
motley of our pulp origins make us seem harmless."
