Arkady Strugatsky Quotes

Science Fiction Lends Itself Readily To Imaginative Subversion Of Any Status Quo. Bureaucrats And Politicians, Who Can't Afford To Cultivate Their Imaginations, Tend To Assume It's All Ray-guns And Nonsense, Good For Children. A Writer May Have To Be As Blatantly Critical Of Utopia As Zamyatin In We To Bring The Censor Down Upon Him. The Strugatsky Brothers Were Not Blatant, And Never (to My Limited Knowledge) Directly Critical Of Their Government's Policies. What They Did, Which I Found Most Admirable Then And Still Do Now, Was To Write As If They Were Indifferent To Ideology - Something Many Of Us Writers In The Western Democracies Had A Hard Time Doing. They Wrote As Free Men Write.
