If poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world, science fiction writers are its court jesters. We are Wise Fools who can leap, caper, utter prophecies, and scratch ourselves in public. We can play with Big Ideas because the garish motley of our pulp origins make us seem harmless.
Bruce SterlingWhen you canโt imagine how things are going to change, that doesnโt mean that nothing will change. It means that things will change in ways that are unimaginable.
