……………………………………………………
……………………………………………………..
1. scary aliens
and starships
… but there is a lot more to say about it.
Here are just two examples of what science
fiction can be…
…………..
• “ ...[Science Fiction] means what we point to when we say it."
(Damon Knight)
• "SF is a controlled way to think and dream about the future.
An integration of the mood and attitude of science (the
objective universe) with the fears and hopes that spring from
the unconscious. Anything that turns you and your social
context, the social you, inside out. Nightmares and visions,
always outlined by the barely possible."
(Gregory Benford)
