Aspirations of Science Fiction
The relevance of science fiction and proving its more important then most people think.
The integrity of the human spirit is as valued as anything has been or likely will be. Therefore the topic of the human spirit being dominated and ruled by something other than the individual themselves is a challenging idea to contemplate. Then world has witnessed the results of absolute power being granted to a single person or faction, and such results included the basest violations of human rights. The drives behind these parties have been aligned by the desire for utopian society. The attempts included eliminating threats to unity and removing what divided people from one another, whether it was wealth, religion or otherwise. It concluded that “Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic.” (Herbert 373). No matter what intentions have been or will be behind the desire for universal peace and unanimity, there is no way to compartmentalize every person into a specific being.
Innovation does not come without imagination, and the manner that science fiction presents itself is an effective means for such growth. The cycle of literary and intellectual development will continue indefinitely or until there is not further development possible. An ideal world of acceptance and tolerance in the form of a universal utopia is currently somewhat farfetched compared to what is suggested in science fiction. Nevertheless, aspirations of science fiction shall continue to introduce new ideas to current or future considerations, whether it may be physical objects or psychological ideals. Until the point where humankind reaches its pinnacle of improvement and stagnates there will be evolution of the species through the insightful fabrications of science fiction.
