Page "Futurians" Paragraph 7

At the time the Futurians were formed, Donald Wollheim was strongly attracted by communism and believed that followers of science fiction " should actively work for the realization of the scientific world-state as the only genuine justification for their activities and existence ".

It was to this end that Wollheim formed the Futurians, and many of its members were in some degree interested in the political applications of science fiction.
