   Summary

   Many years ago I figured out that the only real difference between fantasy and science fiction lies in the way each genre explains the miraculous. Fantasy uses magic; science fiction uses technology. Fantasy gives us spirits, elves, and other magical beings; science fiction gives us aliens. And so on. The Doctor nods in this direction by quoting Arthur C. Clarke in her exit line to King James: “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”
