From the foreword by Oisín McGann: “Science fiction questions. It wants to know. And in doing so, it is less a means of predicting our future than it is a lens through which we examine our world and our lives as they are now, slightly removed from reality, for the sake of some clarity and objectivity. It is a genre that imagines the discovery of an unknown virus in our veins, a demonstration of our unavoidable mortality, or the spacecraft we use to take us into orbit, so that we can look back at, and appreciate, the delicate beauty of our planet.”
