Re: Allegory in Science Fiction

Any excuse to gush about Astro Boy, one story could be about the shaky politics and relations between mankind and robots or you get a simple story of Astro fighting some giant ants. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FWlwLtNXgAInxMX?format=jpg&name=900x900 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FdINGuzWQAAkI9l?format...
