Sometimes people....

[Paul Whybrow]

'Sometimes people dismiss SF and fantasy for being escapist...however, it is anything but. SF comes from its respective authors' societies, a reflection of the world's present, its history and its future. That world used to be overwhelmingly American, but it isn't anymore, and needn't be.'

It is also escapist. And a way to approach today's issues that can make it accessible to many for whom a real world approach might be too triggering.
