Lutsina concludes that futuristic sci-fi has the potential to be a richer source of social criticism than conventional fiction. This is because futuristic sci-fi writers can write about new social arrangements, since they donβt have to represent current social realities.
Priscilla concludes that the most effective social criticism results from accurately presenting current social realities, as conventional fiction does. This view is based on the claim that futuristic sci-fi writers are better at imagining new technologies than they are at imagining new social realities. This shows that writersβ imaginations are constrained by current realities.
Weβre looking for a point of disagreement. The speakers disagree about whether sci-fi or conventional fiction are the best at social criticism.
