Summary

This quote suggests that science fiction and fantasy both offer a sense of excitement and adventure, but in different ways. Science fiction, with its grounding in scientific concepts and speculation about the future, keeps you on the edge, stimulating your imagination while still maintaining some connection to reality. On the other hand, fantasy takes you beyond the boundaries of possibility, pushing you off the metaphorical cliff of rationality and propelling you into the realm of pure imagination and wonder. It implies that while science fiction may challenge and provoke thought, fantasy offers a more transformative and immersive experience.
