Science fiction as well hs an impact on lit and society.
Fantasy is important because it proposes as truths what must be unavoidably found to not be so. It's an intrinsic part of dialog.
Was at a seminar with an author the other day who opined that fantasy and sci fi are actually truer to how our brains work than "realism".
A man after my own heart :D
I'm not really into Sci Fi although I have written a fantasy short story but I am interested why the curled lip at this sort of literature anyway? My daughter is a fan fiction writer which I know has a huge following among the younger generation. Manga and Yowie I think it's called and I get the impression that some people just don't like certain genres and refuse to even classify them as literature and I'm curious as to why that is the case.
