I read sci-fi more to understand the optimism of other people’s imagination. Magic and complex characters can make a story interesting, definitely. But reading sci-fi that dreams up more utopian but still feasible futures, I feel like is almost more productive than reading something nonfiction. We can get caught up in fear and loathing, and reading someone else’s positive (or negative, can be just as informative) imagination of future can help you see it too. I’m reading through the Dispossessed by Ursula Guin and find it amazing so far.
