The 3rd Eye

[인용] "The Central Message of SF" by Robert J. Sawyer

[T]he central message of SF; "Look with a skeptical eye at new technologies." Has that message gotten through to the general public? Has society at large embraced it in a way that they never did embrace "Don't commit murder because you will never get away that?"

And the answer, I think, is absolutely yes. Society has co-opted the science-fictional worldview wholly and completely.

...

[N]ow, everyone is a science fiction writer, even if they never spend any time at a keyboard. When a new technology comes along, we all look at it not with the wide eyes of a kid on Christmas morning, but with skepticism.

from Robert J. Sawyer, "THE FUTURE IS ALREADY HERE: Is There a Place for Science Fiction in the Twenty-First Century?" in Anders, Lou (ed.), Projections: Science Fiction in Literature & Film (2004).
