“Science fiction is a weird category, because it's the only area of fiction I can think of where the story is not of primary importance. Science fiction tends to be more about the science, or the invention of the fantasy world, or the political allegory.

Sometimes a writer will be so uneasy before the naked power of his art that he will install…
