Non-fiction sucks balls. Fiction inspires people.
Asimov coined the term 'Robot'. Before then machines were simply called automatons. He also described a spacewalk accurately years before the Russian cosmonaut performed the first one in human history.
Clarke proposed an idea for geosynchronous satellite orbit. We now RELY on that shit.
Fiction authors make things happen. Non-fiction authors are basically historians with a flair for descriptivism.
