RE: From Pen to Paper, From Paper to Reality: How Science Fiction Inspires Real Change

in #sci-fi8 years ago

Oh, I wasn't suggesting that there should be any restrictions on the content in sci-fi novels. I'm not an advocate of censorship in any form. It is just a shame that people always seem to find something innocent and morph it into something sinister. I do think that technology can be evil in itself though. There are some inventions that were never intended for good. Torture devices for instance. And though this is probably a controversial opinion, to me, even weapons development can never truly be justified as a means of forging peace. Weapons are for hurting others, so we need to just stop making them all together. Sorry, I realise I drifted off topic somewhat. My apologies.

No worries, thats a totally valid point and I guess youre right. Intent upon creation is also important.
