"Just as a general guide, if it's science fiction, it contains social commentary of some kind." -- Beau of the Fifth Column ([twitter.com profile] BeauTFC), 2022-10-30 or 2022-10-31 (YouTube is approximating it as "a day ago" and I'm not sure exactly how it rounds that), "Let's talk about Futurama's reboot and social commentary...."

[Note that this also goes for all the folks acting like Star Trek "suddenly" becoming "woke" or something. It always was. Some political or social idea will usually be in a science fiction story whether the creator meant to put it there, or just failed to notice what economic/social/political assumptions they incorporated.]

Blessed Samhain, good Día de los Muertos, and good All Hallows Day (All Saints Day) to everyone celebrating at least one of those!
