Science fiction is one of my favourite genres(类型) of books and movies.I like the kind of science fiction that shows what the future might look like on Earth.Science fiction movies like Star Wars are OK but they are full of strange creatures and things we'll never see.I much prefer movies that are on Earth that show all of the inventions of the future.Robot movies are good.I can see how that will come true.I think people like science fiction because it is like a glimpse(一瞥) into the future.Many of the things that were in science movies from many years ago are true today.Even simple things like the mobile phone.Fifty years ago that was pure science fiction.Not many people thought we could have a phone in our pocket.

Satellites，hunger，stars，kerosene lamps(煤油灯)，the Milky Way，a light year，the flood...these seemingly unconnected things combined together and formed the early part of my life，which shaped the science fiction I write today.

As a science fiction writer who began as a fan，I do not use my fiction as a way to criticize the reality of the present.I feel that the greatest appeal of science fiction is the creation of numerous imaginary worlds outside of reality.I've always felt that the greatest and most beautiful stories were told by science.They are far more magnificent，grand，involved，profound，thrilling，strange，terrifying，mysterious，and even emotional.Only these wonderful stories are locked in cold equations(方程式) that most do not know how to read.

As a fan of science fiction，a considerable part of the science fiction I've read comes from America.The fact that American readers can now enjoy my book makes me both pleased and excited.Science fiction describes events of interest to all of humanity.It often describes a day when humanity will form a harmonious whole and I believe the arrival of such a day need not wait for the appearance of aliens.
