I don’t need to know how the sewage system works to tell a story about someone on another planet. I love it, but I’m also very wary of the perfectly natural fan thing of wanting to know more. So how does that affect your architecture, or your concept of parenthood, or family, or the typical composition of a household? From there, I ask questions about how these things affect art and culture and government and philosophy and so on. But I like to know as little as possible, whether I’m writing or reading.
