Opinion
Cory Doctorow and Annalee Newitz avoid both dystopia and naive optimism
“I think people like Cory Doctorow Annalee Newitz here in San Francisco is amazing science fiction writer. They don't write dystopias. They don't write those sort of, you know, naive Panglossian features either.”

Insight
Doctorow: Science fiction shapes the future rather than predicting it
“I don't think science fiction does predict the future. I think it can make the future, which is exciting. But I think that the idea that the future is predictable is itself horrifically fatalistic, right?”
