Civilization Is The Distance Man Has Placed

My Briefest Ever Definition Of Science Fiction Is 'hubris Clobbered By Nemesis.'

It's A National Failing To Think Of Politics As Something That Goes On In Parliament. It Isn't; It's Something That Goes On Inside Us.

That's The Artist's Role - To Strike Out Always For Something New, To Break Away, To Defy, To... Grapple With The Unfamiliar.

Science Fiction Is The Search For A Definition Of Mankind And His Status In The Universe Which Will Stand In Our Advanced But Confused State Of Knowledge (science), And Is Characteristically Cast In The Gothic Or Post Gothic Mode.

Fantasy Is Literature For Teenagers.
