First, there are those who don't know what it is, and couldn't care less. ![]() There are two classes of REASON readers, I suppose, who aren't reading science fiction. But I'd like to hope science fiction itself could have broad appeal among libertarians-after all, it's the most liberated fiction going, even when it isn't devoted explicitly to The Message. ![]() Nothing worth printing in the REASON letter column in any case.ĭoes "Science Fiction in Perspective" even compete in reader popularity with the lust-lorn personal columns?

I wish we had 10 or 100 times as many people reading about these topics-it might turn this country around.īut are there any science fiction fans out there? The editor must be one, or I wouldn't have started this column. Important things, too-from libertarian psychology and political philosophy to how to fight fires for profit and what to do about prostitution.
