Abstract
Given the opportunity on a Saturday night, what would the average moviegoer prefer to see: an historically accurate accounting of World War I or a science‐fiction epic about a galactic war? At the front of the local bookstore, which book is more likely to be prominently displayed: a history of the British monarchy or a saga of medieval times featuring dragons, elves, and magic? Sure, some people will opt for the austerity of factual accounts. However, many more are likely to opt for the mythology and escapism inherent in stories of how things might be, rather than remain in the stark reality of the present.
