Ok ok,
I was watching some sci-fi show the other day and suddenly it hit me that sci-fi was taking a lot of flake from critics and most people generally don’t dig sci-fi simply because its not real enough. Hell, like everything else is.
I would like to add that science fiction is an existential metaphor. It allows stories to be told about the human condition.
Isaac Asimov once said, “Individual Science Fiction Stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinded critics and philosophers of today, but the core of science fiction, it’s essence, has become crucial to our salvation and survival, if … we are to be saved at all.”
This we must believe.
Cheers.
ps:Many more good years ahead.
