Science fiction without the science just becomes, you know, sword and sorcery, basically stories about heroism and not much more.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
I've always been a science fiction fan since I had understood the conception of what a story was.
Science fiction is what we point to when we say it.
I've always been interested in science fiction.
I never really saw myself as writing science fiction anyway.
Science fiction I've always been a fan of.
I never could read science fiction. I was just uninterested in it. And you know, I don't like to read novels where the hero just goes beyond what I think could exist. And it doesn't interest me because I'm not learning anything about something I'll actually have to deal with.
Science fiction has a way of letting you talk about where we are in the world and letting you be a bit of a pop philosopher without being didactic.
Science fiction writers, I am sorry to say, really do not know anything. We can't talk about science, because our knowledge of it is limited and unofficial, and usually our fiction is dreadful.
Science fiction is an extension of science.
