|original=As for the whole subject of speculative fiction, science fiction, fantasy, I hardly know what to say. When I came into the field, it was a small genre. There were maybe sixty science fiction writers in the United States. The differences now are huge. Fantasy is an enormous industry instead of being barely mentioned stuff for kids. Science fiction is a fairly large industry, although I think it's kind of shrinking. Both of them have gone very commercial, and science fiction keeps having trouble establishing itself as literature, but fantasy has always been part of literature, although it was kind of disinherited by the modernist critics and forced into kiddie lit or genre. And science fiction is perhaps kind of just blending in, in the postmodern world, with everything else.

UKLG: Because it offers alternatives. What any group that is socially oppressed, or marginalized, or not in control, needs is to know that there are other ways to run a society, that the way this society is being run is not ordained by God from the beginning of time, that things can change. Which gives hope—any social movement of betterment has got to have some hope that things can be changed. And science fiction's really good at actually imagining other societies: How would they run? What are the costs and what are the benefits? And so on. You can actually do a dry run of what would it be like if ... men and women were equal, or, like I did in The Left Hand of Darkness, what if basically there was no gender? Stuff like that. So you can do thought experiments which I think is a really important human activity.</poem>
