Why I love SF

[YankeyMCC]

Just reading the Sci Fi weekly and came across this quote from Marvin Kaye who'd going to be editing a new anthology titled "Forbidden Planets" (btw: of course I'm going to have to check out this collection if only because it's paying homage to my all time favorite movie :) )

'Fantasy is the most important literary genre, Kaye added (he considers SF to be a subcategory of fantasy). "It is intricately intertwined with literature of every age and culture," he said. "It provides necessary myths and archetypes to each respective society. Or it can hold up a fun-house mirror to the face of mankind, serving up its homilies as foils to that which is being observed, dissected, satirized."'


For me at least he hit the proverbial nail on the it's proverbial head!

Just saying.
