China Miéville Reflects on Science Fiction's Role in Today's Society
In a recent interview, renowned author China Miéville discussed the evolving relationship between science fiction and real-world issues. He emphasized that science fiction should not be viewed as a future blueprint but rather a reflection of current societal contexts. Miéville criticized the trend among tech billionaires, like Elon Musk, who treat sci-fi narratives as plans for colonizing Mars rather than addressing pressing global issues. He lamented the commodification of genres and the cultural downsides of their mainstream popularity. Miéville also hinted at a highly anticipated new book set for release next year.
