"What about science fiction Master?"
"The bad sort is so much trash, get rid of it. The good sort are real jewels of exercises in the True Words living in about society."
"How could that be, Master, as fictions only?"
"The good ones can only have been written by a clever man, very extensive study of Mankind, of sociology, of the true Way. They introduce a non-existent, untrue element but describe expertly the reactions of a real planetary socio. They deserve the first, nay the only, place in the booklists for sociology and Mind-Science students, if the usual ones that are required are not drastically altered. Read e.g. : Wells' Utopia, Passionate, Holy Terror, Joan, etc. , then, Forester, Hoyle, Huxley and so on. But undoubtedly, the forefront has Wyndham. When you want to know about Man-Science, know about Man, you study Wyndham. When you only want to pass an examination in these fields, you, of course, have enough in the Gibberish books of the official curriculum. Wyndham, besides being very entertaining, is a must for those who want to play with insight in Man, in the Way, in Nature. And when you have digested Gulliver's, More's, Butler's, Huxley's, Plato's, and all the other Utopias, you'll find in Wells that, after Hiroshima, no Utopia can be writ that is not Mondial."
