“As long ago as Future Shock (circa 1970), Alvin Toffler was calling for exposing young people to science fiction as ‘a sovereign prophylactic’ against ‘the premature arrival of the future’. Today in an even more rapidly changing world, it is even more important for Toffler’s purpose but also for making the kinds of informed decisions about present issues that will lead to better futures.”

— Professor James Gunn, founder of the Centre for the Study of Science Fiction at Kansas University

And Toffler was correct.
