I believe that Science Fiction is used for cultural commentary because it can give us insight of what the future will be like. Science Fiction novels can also let readers live through the characters as if they were in the book. Science Fiction gives the reader a break from reality and lets us explore. It is used as cultural commentary to also bring awareness to political or global events, like the end of the world and how it was caused. Science Fiction explores the unknown and possible futures through imagination. Sometimes Science Fiction can even influence society to change how we behave or develop new technologies for better or worse. I believe that Science Fiction definitely goes hand and hand with culture. It opens up a door for us to think outside the book and explore what could be. It is used to explore our universe and what could be out there. It is also lets us question reality and mind. In a science fiction novel one can be and do whatever they want . Science fiction is very effective in its mission to influence cultural commentary. For example marvels Avengers is watched and followed by millions of people world wide. Through this work of science fiction people are allowed to dream and question our reality and place in the universe. That definitely influences culture and our out look on space and time. the same is true with other woks of science fiction like Star trek. Sure science fiction could be more efficient in there ways by exploring more cultural mysteries and contemplation philosophical questions but they are endless. As time goes on science fiction will continue to grow and tempt to explain and explore the unknown to give its readers peace of mind and promote imagination.
