Oh good gracious no. I write "escapist fiction". Billionaire romances. Medieval fantasy. I want the reader to slip into my world and ignore the real one for a few hours. All the troubles in my books can be solved in a couple of hundred pages. Reality isn't that easy.

Like you, I try and avoid politics as much as possible.
ReplyDeleteToo dangerous a territory to dabble in.
DeleteIndeed.

DeleteI think that politics is a reflection of the human condition. As such, without referring to specifics, I treat it as a fact of life in my sci-fi stories, I have a sneaking suspicion it will be just the same as it is now on another planet, in another time.
ReplyDeleteI am sure every alien culture has the same problems.
DeleteMy fantasy doesn't have the same politics as currently, but it has similar political problems because I think humans don't change all that much.
