Ben Bova a écrit un article intitulé : "Maybe leaders should read more science fiction".
Il est dispo ici.
Voici le début :
As I wrote in this space a few weeks ago, I get a fair amount of criticism but I seldom read it.
However, my lynx-eyed wife does. And when she spots a letter to the editor about one of my columns that particularly irks her, she reads it to me out loud.
Often, when a letter writer can’t think of any other way to whack at me, he will fall back on the fact that I write fiction. Science fiction, at that. It’s an old ploy and I’m used to it.
Although I do write fiction, my columns in this newspaper are based strictly on facts. I may speculate about future developments, but even those gazes into the future are based solidly on the realities of today and the lessons of history.
