Should Fantasy books show our modern social problems?
I’ve been conflicted about this lately. On one hand, the problems of today are the problems we are dealing with today. They are relevant.
On the other hand, reading about how our views of women, race, religion, and so many other things have changed over the centuries really gets me thinking.
It makes me oddly hopeful to realize how many of our modern prejudices are only a few centuries old. Because cultures and societies have changed before, why can’t they change again?
