Fiction is not detached from reality. Authors who write fiction base it on their experiences, studies, believes. Grounded in, taken from and influenced by bigger forces of religion, social decorums, culture. Amplified to an unrealistic dimension. Lots of advances in science and push towards technology can be attributed to fiction that recent generations have consumed. So although fiction cannot be authoritative, I am uncertain that it would be wrong to draw inferences from it
