Great program this week. I was really impressed with Marian Call, especially with her insights that science fiction is both a great reflection of our cultural fears and hopes, and also a commentary on current events. Her favorite author, Bradbury, certainly incorporated a lot of that in his works, and while Asimov used a lot of historical basis for his novels, the elements of history he picked out were also applicable to today–and tomorrow. Her whole outlook was amazingly refreshing.
