The future is inevitable, yet its shape remains unknowable. The only guarantee is that it brings change, and change, by nature, alienates. But fantasy does not. Fantasy remains intimate; woven into the experience of self. It does not estrange us from the unknown; it gives us mythic tools to enter it. Fantasy lets us reflect on the unthinkable, giving the mind an organ with which to contact the truly alien. as an endlessly engaging strange attraction.
