“That's really what SF is all about, you know: the big reality that pervades the real world we live in: the reality of change. Science fiction is the very literature of change. In fact, it is the only such literature we have.” KnowsWorldRealFactsBigsRealityLiteratureFictionScience FictionReal World Author:Frederik Pohl
“The future depicted in a good SF story ought to be in fact possible, or at least plausible. That means that the writer should be able to convince the reader (and himself) that the wonders he is describing really can come true... and that gets tricky when you take a good, hard look at the world around you.” WorldShouldLooksMeanHardFactsStoriesAbleWonderOughtReaderConvinceDescribingTrickyPlausible Author:Frederik Pohl
“I don't think the scientific method and the science fictional method are really analogous. The thing about them is that neither is really practiced very much, at least not consciously. But the fact that they are methodical does relate them.” ThinkingDoeFactsMethodScience FictionRelateScientific MethodMethodical Author:Frederik Pohl
