4. Do you feature real-world political and social issues in your work?
Yes, always. My fantasies are portal fantasies so there are comparisons between here and there possible. I always use that to show a few things I strongly dislike in our world.
My SF isn't usually that far in the future that today's politics doesn't affect these worlds/societies. So I try to predict the consequences of some of our actions.
It's only an aside mostly. I try to be subtle.
