I love that phrase, "grow a narrative around any concept." It captures what speculative thinking does best.

Hmmm...for starters? People who are maybe unfamiliar/reluctant? Top of my head... Ray Bradbury's Martian Chronicles or Fahrenheit 451 Ursula Le Guin's Left Hand of Darkness Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea Clare North's Small Gods Becky Chamber's A Psalm for the Wild-Built

Graham Moore

I've felt that gap often. novels that entertain brilliantly but leave nothing behind. Not because they failed as art, but because the author never let the philosophy break the surface. The remedy isn't to merge them. it's to demand honesty about what you're actually after.
