For generations upon generations humans have used the tool/art of fiction to take the mind to an imaginary mysterious place. Fiction can often lead to ideas and theories which can then lead to knowledge. The beauty about fiction is that we can imagine as if we are in a reality. It is a deep thought but if we can think of fiction as an artificial reality, it makes it much easier to grasp the idea. I believe the idea of Fiction led to the enlightenment. When people began to read and indulge in fiction, they were in another reality where they came up with new thoughts and ideas, which ultimately led to the enlightenment. “I think therefor I am”, Fiction gives us the ability to create artificial knowledge which is translatable to the real world. Amini does a great job in portraying the power of storytelling, the boundaries are endless! Another great thing about fiction and storytelling, is that when you are reading or listening to a fiction you are in the storytellers’ world. You are seeing what they are seeing, but you can have your own thoughts. That’s what makes the mind amazing.  So does fiction lead to knowledge? Absolutely, fiction creates an artificial reality where we can think and have ideas that translate to the real world. I believe that fiction was a key component that ultimately led to the great Enlightenment.
