The main thrust of the one-thousand and fifty-three page document was, as the head of the committee put it, "science fiction isn't really about killer aliens and cyborg armies run amok, it's actually a thinly veiled commentary on the society of today."

Gone are the days when one could lay back by a fireplace and enjoy the tale of legions of robotic soldiers rampaging the earth.
