"Science fiction let me do both. It let me look into science and stick my nose in everywhere"
- Octavia Butler
About this Quote
Octavia Butler's quote speaks to the power of science fiction to explore the limits of science and to go beyond them. Science fiction allows us to check out the possibilities of the future, to think of new technologies and to consider the implications of our existing clinical understanding. It also enables us to explore the boundaries of our own understanding, to question our assumptions and to consider the ramifications of our choices. By checking out science and sticking our noses in all over, science fiction enables us to gain a better understanding of the world around us and to think about the implications of our actions. Science fiction can be a powerful tool for knowing, for understanding, and for developing a better future.
