Bruce Sterling Quotes About Science Fiction

Quotes about: Science Fiction

• If poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world, science fiction writers are its court jesters. We are Wise Fools who can leap, caper, utter prophecies, and scratch ourselves in public. We can play with Big Ideas because the garish motley of our pulp origins make us seem harmless.

  Wise, Play, Ideas

• The future is unwritten. there are best case scenarios. There are worst-case scenarios. both of them are great fun to write about if you' re a science fiction novelist, but neither of them ever happens in the real world. What happens in the real world is always a sideways-case scenario. World-changing marvels to us, are only wallpaper to our children.

  Bruce Sterling

  Children, Fun, Real

• Science fiction is not about the freedom of imagination. It's about a free imagination pinched and howling in a vise that other people call real life.
