Our book explores the relationship between reading fiction and engaging with science. We examine the contexts in which science fictions matter, and show how reading science (in) fiction can be understood in relation to public understandings of science.

This is the nub of the article that I disagree with. Sticking to the evidence *requires* picking a side on many issues that should never have been politics but now are: climate change, vaccines, public health... Staying neutral denies the science and that can't be scientific or right.
