I like both, but I've always leaned toward science fiction myself. I have an easier time finding deep and thought-provoking stories in the science fiction genre, and I tend to prefer its more emphasis on exploring what its possibilities mean and using them to examine ourselves.

      I never got past that scene, but from what I understand he’s called the “unbeliever” because he doesn’t believe the world he’s in is real. Over time he comes to understand that it is and regrets his actions as monstrous. I think you could readily argue the point that it still wasn’t appropriate (I mean, I could never read them because of that scene) but the authorial intent, however garbled, wasn’t really to fetishize or glorify.
