Our culture trio this week gets to grips with reality in fiction, and vice versa. First off, Na'a comes into the defence of sci-fi movies such as The Last Jedi that they've always been scientifically inaccurate. Bernice asks why climate change as a subject matter isn't featured much, if at all, in literary fiction. Lastly, Kam addresses the kinds of human beauty we are naturally drawn towards, and the psyches that go into it biologically and culturally.
