Abstract
This article reviews how science fiction writers have employed a popular and specialized literary medium in order to offer creative insights into human behavior and social structures. David A. Kyle is introduced to readers as a science fiction writer, publisher, cofounder of Gnome Press, historian of the science fiction field, and an avid promoter of science fiction. Kyle offers candid insights related to how science fiction has encouraged a serious exploration of psychological, philosophical, educational, and sociological questions. His fundamental premise is that science fiction allows us to explore what it means to be human in a technological and scientifically oriented society. The article concludes with a summary of how literary figures, social scientists (psychologists, sociologists, anthropologists, etc.), and teachers have also successfully used works of science fiction and literary criticism for various purposes.
