(September 13, 2013 at 11:33 am)Stimbo Wrote: I prefer the summation made by Ray Bradbury and/or Frank Herbert (actual provenance is a little unclear); that science fiction should prevent the future, not predict it. If all people take away from 1984 is "hey, he predicted Big Brother", they totally missed the point.


How can you prevent a future you didn't predict?
