One of the key advantages of the modern media is that science fiction novels

science wonderful.

That reminds me of a lecture on black holes I attended about a decade ago.
After an hour of presentation had concluded, one of the people in
the audience, a certain Martinus Veltman, 1999 Nobel Laureate in Physics
for his work in quantum electrodynamics, stood up, asked the speaker,
"How much of this is science fiction," and promptly exited the auditorium
before the stunned person could reply. I guess he's no believer in warp
drive or dilithium crystals.

Burning books or burning flags is Ok by me as long is it is a matter of
expression and not policy.
