I believe that Sci-Fi authors and screenwriters who write sci-fi scripts tend to be Liberal, not all, but many. I have found that in recent sci-fi novels there is lots of doom/gloom, Earth is ravaged by global warming/climate change, man has wrecked the planet, etc, etc, so much in fact I have tossed a couple of authors off my shelves because they draw from that particular well too often.

I find that Sci-Fi authors use sci-fi as a mirror to what they see wrong with "society" and see themselves as the hero who can fix what is wrong with the world.

Gadgets like star ships are just ways to move the story from one planet, to many planets.

You believe wrong. There are entire swathes of SF that are written for and by conservatives. Nearly EVERYTHING published by Baen Books, for example, has a conservative or pro-military bent.

Heck, George W. Bush even has minor speaking parts in several, including one where he’s talking to Jeb. . . (”Into the Looking Glass” by Ringo and Taylor. . .)

There’s even stories of a second American Revolution against a barely-disguised Hillary presidency (”A State of Disobedience” by Tom Kratman), and even one that takes on Political Correctness AND Global Warming (”The Last Centurion” by Ringo).

About the ONLY thing the Baen authors have screwed up on, is their expectation that Hillary would be President right now. . .

The Children of Men was a conservative book written by a conservative author. It was ravaged by the screenwriters and director. Turned it into a leftist screed.
