I set out to write science fiction partly for the liberated literary territory it afforded, and for the laboratory of ideas it provided to try to imagine better futures (usually by putting mirrors up to see the worst aspects of the present).
Christopher Brown • Empty lots
For me, all fiction is about prizing the logic of metaphors - which is the logic of narratives in general - over reality, which is irreducibly random and senseless.
Ken Liu
What speculative fiction is really good at is not the future but the present—taking an aspect of it that troubles or is dangerous, and extending and extrapolating that aspect into something that allows the people of that time to see what they are doing from a different angle and from a different place. It’s cautionary.
Ray Bradbury • Fahrenheit 451: A Novel
