    Abstract:
    discussion of the may 2004 issue of pmla that treated science fiction as a scholarly genre. my question was, instead of writing strung-out, dystopian lit, why not ask what will be the level of consciousness of an individual human biped in a galactic economy of quadrilions and quintillions of people, each utilizing near- infinity numbers of kilocalories daily. why don't we write truly progressive, futuristic works instead of bourgeois-anarchoid ones invovlving boring, super-individuated characters - keeping in mind that all else equal, human consciousness, the content of our minds, is predicated upon energy and material accessions made available to our sentient species as a whole?
    Notes:
    "... a madman who not only understood but cared and wanted to understand more and much more than there was... " On the Road by Jack Kerouac - 1955 skeptical of anglo-centric scientists.
