The relationship between the sci-fi fiction and politics is hard to define for me. One of the basis of Sci-fi fiction is to create the scenario which can allow people to imagine the future as it depicts in the book or in the movie. Based on this, on the one hand, it should have connection with the “real”life, and on the other hand, it should follow the discipline and some moral rules that we have today, or at least on the extension of the current social legacy. That is how we have sci-fi rather than a fantasy world. Just as Eighteen Téllez said in his section, “I hesitate to say that a polemic can be built for the left from strands of sci-fi, because sci-fi is an end in and of itself. sci-fi is diametrically opposed to systems- even when systems are implied in the telling of the tales; eventually, in most of these tales, the system fails anyway.”
Alex Smith in his section claims that Sci-fi are all reimagined through a futurist lens but in the hands and hearts of those who are sci-fi, they are made EVEN MORE POWERFUL. I strongly agree with this point. Sci-fi sometimes can be a kind of weapon since it will predict an extreme possibility which might happen in the future. For instance, the 1984, is one of the most famous anti-utopia science fiction. For me， Metropolarity has always been a guiding light of how to do it right, so does the sci-fi works. Sci-fi sometimes can work as a typical social model. Everyone understands that the model won’t come to be reality, but…only for now, since no one could imagine we can communicate just by a machine which is smaller than our hand (the mobile phone) when Bell just invented telephone.
