Most of these pieces fall under the umbrella of science fiction. Science fiction has a long history of postulating plausible futures as a way to examine ideas about humanity free from the constraints of our current time and place. In doing so, science fiction invites discussions about our past, present, and possible futures. Dean's aspirational goal is to spark some such discussions.
