Summary

This quote suggests that science fiction serves as a clever and indirect means for writers to critique and challenge the current state of affairs by projecting their criticisms onto a fictional future setting. By presenting futuristic scenarios and societies, science fiction writers can comment on the flaws and shortcomings of the past and present, allowing them to explore complex ideas and social issues in a thought-provoking and often less controversial manner. Essentially, science fiction acts as a veil through which authors can thinly veil their commentary on the world we live in.
