Some people say that fantasy is useless. Science fiction is good because it might be true some day. Some people say that science fiction is useless because it's not true now. You should only read realistic modern fiction. Some people say that all fiction should be dumped because they're nothing but made-up stories about made-up people. Only non-fiction is worth anyone's time.
I disagree with all of those people.
