Sample Book Insights:
#1 I will be giving the Kesterton Lecture at Carleton’s School of Journalism and Communication. The title of my small talk is Scientific Romancing. Its cover story is that it’s about science fiction. Its subtext is probably What is fiction for. or something like that.
#2 The intersection between science and fiction is a point of interest for me. I want to understand why people write and read these types of stories, and what they’re good for.
#3 The novel has always claimed to offer a certain kind of truth about human nature, and how people really behave under observable social conditions. The genres want to entertain us rather than just rub our noses in the daily grind.
#4 The distinction between fiction and journalism is important when discussing the future. While no one can predict the future, you can dip into the present and explore the seeds of what might become the future.
