“Sci-fi novels are concerned with problems faced by all of humanity. Crises in sci-fi mostly threaten humanity as a whole. This is a unique and treasurable trait inherent in the genre - that the human race is perceived as a single entity, undivided.”

Realist literature depicts things that we have seen in life, but science fiction is different: what it depicts exists only in the author's imagination. When it comes to science fiction, the written word is inadequate.”

“Maintaining a sense of humor is key to getting people to also focus on the crises at hand.”

“Just as crises can provide a test of anyone's character, they do so especially with presidents.”

“To unify an international community where strife and divisions are coming to a head, we need to further strengthen relationships with the Global South and respond to energy and food crises.”
