As an author who writes dystopian political science fiction,
I unfortunately fill much of my world with political violence. This is not
unlike other writers who put in evil characters and organizations for heroes
and heroines to fight against.
I want my readers, and others to know, that I do not condone
those who read my stories to become inspired to do hateful acts of violence in
the present.
I write these stories, like most science fiction writers, to
make people realize how wrong things can become and that we should strive to
correct society before my visions become a reality. Because I write hard
science fiction, the details of my writings can be realistic.
I’ve written on this topic when the baseball shootinghappened in Virginia, and again I say the same thing and reminding people not
to do violence.
Nothing has changed since that date. Maybe as we go forward,
things will.
