Two of the defining traits of Science Fiction are interpolation and extrapolation. Most sf is extrapolation and wild extrapolation at that and has lost much of its impact. So when some subtle interpolation comes along people (sf readers) take notice. It also touches on our own frailty as humans, giving us a new perspective on reality, something that is difficult to do in sf.
