Quote by Robert Reed
I've always thought of science fiction as being, at some level, a 19th-century business.
Summary
This quote suggests that science fiction, despite being set in the future or exploring advanced technology, is rooted in the societal and cultural values of the 19th century. It implies that the genre is influenced by the industrial, scientific, and social advancements that took place during that time. The author may believe that even though science fiction deals with futuristic concepts, it still carries the imprint of the 19th-century era in terms of its themes, ideas, and perspectives on technology, progress, and human nature.
