I think we are still awaiting the history of science fiction that demonstrates how speculative fiction links to, feeds on, and feeds into, broader changes in literature, art, politics, science, and the like.

I’m not sure that Aldiss really believed that Frankenstein was the moment that science fiction was dragged mewling and puking into the world.
