Sci-fi people are not escaping reality. They are thinking about it from a longer distance, using futures and aliens and faster-than-light travel as a way to examine the parts of the present that are too close to see clearly up close. The best science fiction is always about now — the politics, the technology, the ethics, the question of what we owe each other — set somewhere else so you can look at it without the defensive reactions that direct address tends to produce. They have a favorite author and a strong opinion about which adaptations got it right. They have a series they reread. They have thought carefully about their position on the Fermi paradox. The gift for them is something that goes deeper into the genre they love — the books, the films, the ideas — or that connects to the specific corner of it they return to most.
