"Science fiction can lead people to be more cautious about the potential
consequences of innovations. It can help people think critically about the
ethics of science. Researchers have also found that sci-fi serves as a positive
influence on how people view science. Science fiction scholar Istvan
Csicsery-Ronay calls this “science-fictional habits of mind.”
Scientists and engineers have reported that their childhood encounters with
science fiction framed their thinking about the sciences. Thinking critically
about science and technology is an important part of education in STEM – or
science, technology, engineering and mathematics."
