a blog entry with the reference i'm trying to find:
The Persistence of Hope in Dystopian Science Fiction

where he says:
Maybe it is only that humans have a tendency to fashion myths for themselves in which the heroes are more than human. All cultures have their gods and their myths relating to those gods. Maybe in a time in which God is perceived as having less of a role in the universe, science fiction is our new mythology.

a BA thesis on the topic. in pdf format
