There's no real objection to escapism, in the right places.. We all want to escape occasionally. But science fiction is often very far from escapism, in fact you might say that science fiction is escape into reality.. It's a fiction which does concern itself with real issues: the origin of man; our future. In fact I can't think of any form of literature which is more concerned with real issues, reality. Arthur C. Clarke
