What the world needs is fact, not science fiction. we have enough problems of our own to deal with, we don’t need to worrry about different worlds, aleins and disasters that may not even happen. science fiction is a waste of time.

The Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy is a good example of an extremely funny Science Fiction novel. We need Science Fiction because when you read it you forget about the real world.

In the ‘New Scientist’ magazine It had an article on energy-efficient ways to travel between stars and it quotes: ‘The idea [of travelling between stars] is not entirely original. Peter Hamilton’s recent Science Fiction novel Pandora’s Star portrays a future in which people...
