ReFuture at Troynovant:
Reflections on the History of Science Fiction
and the Progress of Fantasy;
listed by Title

Our concept of the History of Science Fiction will not perhaps match closely to anyone else's view. We do want especially to convey that it is a rich and complex history, a self-conscious creation of the modern, creative, pro-individual, technological and forward-looking West. And that science fiction is precisely the literature which helps us to look forward and to manage our potential futures.

Our related concept of the Progress of Fantasy is that works of myth and fancy and dream which are most thoughtful and noblest in intention, must inherently and inevitably seek — through evocation of the timeless — to shape the real futures before us.
  

[Inverness, Macbeth's castle.]

Lady Macbeth {to Macbeth}:

Thy letters have transported me beyond
This ignorant present, and I feel now
The future in the instant.

William Shakespeare
Macbeth, 1.5.54-56
