Article Abstract:
Science fiction is the best place to read about profound philosophical questions because traditional literature keeps revolving around the subject of the real world. Science fiction has not been taken seriously by adult readers because the genre tolerates bad prose stylists and its most famous writers have deranged notions about the inner lives of women.
