"科幻小说假装在看未来，但实际上是在看我们当前社会的反映。"
— Ray Bradbury
Simplified Meaning:
Science fiction often seems like it is predicting the future with its imaginative stories about advanced technology, space travel, or new worlds. However, what it actually does is show us what's happening in our world today, only in a different setting. For example, a science fiction story about robots taking over jobs isn't just about robots; it's reflecting our fears about automation and job loss right now. When these stories talk about alien invasions, they might really be addressing current issues about immigration or understanding different cultures. Science fiction helps us step back and think about our current problems in a new way, showing us what could happen if we continue on the same path or choose to make changes. This way, by imagining the future, we get a clearer picture of what's happening today and how we might want to change things.
