Many Say Fiction Is More Truthful Than Non-Fiction. Examples

I would say that fiction has the potential to explore historical situations deeper and speculate about reality in ways that non-fiction can only scratch the surface. Fiction can comment on things that non-fiction can't so easily like Golem 14 exploring how evolution has forced animals to eat each other instead of get their energy from the sun. And Jorge Luis Borges' Library of Babel explores all the possible 410 page books written in one language. The way that fiction can go beyond reality to understand it is why I think it is valuable.

Here's the quote:

"The only way to understand the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible." Arthur C. Clarke
