One topic some people disagree upon is certainly science fiction. Their opinions couldn't be more different: it's interesting, it's silly, it's boring, it's absurd etc. Could it be that those who see sci-fi under a negative light are the people who mistrust imagination? Thinking about a future that is totally unknown and possibly dangerous scares them. They pretend they find such wanderings silly, or boring, or absurd, but in fact they fear a reality they don't know. They don't like to "think" of possibilities, they prefer to always be here and now, letting the future fade in the haze. Yes, we don't know the future and cannot know it. But being able to let our imagination soar in a fictitious world where anything is possible... isn't that a marvelous gift? After all, what are the numberless fiction stories that have been written over the centuries? Also sci-fi is a novel but, instead of dealing with love or drama or history, it gives your mind the opportunity to travel into... "The Twilight Zone" or to go... on a "Star Trek".
