I'm going to try and keep a bit of a reading long as I do a slow and deep read of this text. I adore the introductory essay, particularly the line "The novelist says in words what cannot be said in words."

I also like that she points out that "science fiction is not predictive; it is descriptive." Yes, there's a speculative aspect to it, but it's a comment on the here and now more than anything else.
