Science fiction isn’t about predicting the future. It’s about feeling the future. It’s about building up the emotional infrastructure we’ll need to navigate whatever comes next. The stories we tell about impossible tomorrows are how we prepare our hearts for the impossible today that’s surely coming.
Science Fiction also serves as the warning that we sometimes get from those who have to get our consent before they do anything to us. We have to consent before they can f@ck us over, even if it is a consent by silence or not objecting. Science Fiction has served this purpose admirably in many occasions, sometimes in books and sometimes in cinema. We have to learn to object and refuse to consent loudly and proudly every time we don’t want something coming our way.
