Coping with Change ... Preparing for Greatness
Science Fiction presents the future not by
predicting it, but by preparing us to have the
mental, emotional, and social skills to cope with
change, with strangeness. It prepares us to
greatness, to know what the noble action might
be, and to give us the courage to embrace it and
carry it out. Scott Olson Card
Orson Scott Card as a special introduction to the
2003 Scholastic edition of HG Wells War of the
Worlds
