Your host holds forth on science fiction and politics at Meme Therapy:

Should contemporary SF *always* be politically oriented? Heaven forbid. SF is many things, and attempting to force it to become an instrument of political change -- as opposed to philosophical transformation or existential shock -- is futile. The genre wants to be free, and so do its authors.

    If I agreed any harder with this statement, I'd give myself a hernia.
