The science fiction method is dissection and reconstruction.

Summary

This quote suggests that the science fiction genre involves a process of analyzing and deconstructing various elements of reality and then reconstructing them in imaginative and often futuristic ways. Science fiction authors tend to dissect and closely examine aspects of the present world and society, exploring how they might evolve or change in the future. This method allows science fiction writers to create thought-provoking and speculative narratives that offer commentary on complex social, technological, or scientific concepts. In essence, science fiction uses this method to challenge reality and inspire readers to contemplate the possibilities that lie ahead.
