Andy S. Falkner: Chaos, Cosmos and Logos

One of science fiction’s tasks is to set the reader free from his anthropocentrism and to animate him to imagine beings, worlds and phenomena very different from the known ones to him. This also includes questioning established definitions e.g. for (artificial) intelligence and thinking about free will. Where the circumstances in the Universe are very different from our ones, other concepts and explanations for well-known phenomena might arise. The only question is how to overcome the enormous distance between us despite the Theory of Relativity, so that communication between intelligences would be possible. Maybe science fiction helps.
