science fiction is depressive? My man, it's not depressive enough. Not until somebody actually makes fun of all the other authors' banal stories and idiotically non-self-aware worldviews. In fact, the only reason you think it is depressive now is because you're a narcissist who cannot cope with the fact that your worldview is self-centered and dogmatic.
