Science Fiction on the net

Some people ask questions like, why do you read those stories, about spaceships. Saying that SF is not about spaceships is no use. Maybe this quote from H.G. Wells helps:

In all this type of story the living interest lies in their non-fantastic elements and not in the invention itself. They are appeals for human sympathy quite as much as any `sympathetic' novel, and the fantastic element, the strange property or the strange world, is used only to throw up and intensify our natural reactions of wonder, fear or perplexity. The invention is nothing in itself ...

Herbert George Wells (1866-1946) in a preface to a collection, 1933.
