You guys want to hear a short but adorable story that happened right in front of me at the baggage claim in NYC yesterday? I wasn't part of it and there are bits I didn't catch but holy crap, I can't stop thinking about it.

Why I write science fiction

SF is a genre of ideas, but also of allegory and parable. It uses the future as a canvas to explore our relationship with our technology and the universe. This canvas is the widest possible, encompassing all of time and space

You can set up any social experiment or play out the results of any ‘what if?’ It warns us of fearful futures if we take the wrong path

And gives us better tomorrows we can aspire to build.
It’s simultaneously an escape from the real world and an interrogation of it

It chronicles our struggle to understand why we’re here, why things are the way they are, and where we might be headed.
It can entertain, provoke, and educate, and enlarge the imagination.
And it’s FUN

A winter sunset over Bolton Priory. The priory church and ruins of the Augustinian priory lie at the heart of the Bolton Abbey estate on land gifted to the Augustinian canons by Alice de Rumilly in 1154. Image Bolton Abbey Sunset Matt Smith CC BY 2.0, Wikimedia Commons

A photograph of the ruined Bolton Priory in North Yorkshire, at sunset with the River Wharfe in the foreground. The sky is dramatic with dark clouds and bright yellow and orange light on the horizon behind the ruins. Two large, bare trees stand on the left bank of the river. There is a light dusting of snow on the grassy bank leading up to the abbey. The water of the river reflects the warm light from the sky.
