FACT vs. FICTION“...(the novel) examines not reality but existence. Existence is not what has occurred...(rather) the realm of human possibilities, everything that man can become, everything he’s capable of. Novelists draw up the map of existence by discovering this or that possibility...A novel that does not discover a hitherto unknown segment of existence is immoral. Knowledge is the novelist’s only morality.” Milan Kundera, The Art of the Novel
FACT + FICTION“The idea that [science fiction] does not merely anticipate but actively shapes technological futures through its effect on the collective imagination”
“Science fiction visions appear as prototypes for future technological environments”
