Science Fiction is indeed a good place to fill out an education. Being old, I remember John W. Campbell. He was the editor of Analog Magazine since the late 40′s. There is a collection of his editorials selected by Harry Harrison. These are not all Campbell’s editorials, but enough to get the measure of the man and his thinking.
Also, for a more general “liberal”, (classical definition), education I’d suggest: Voice of the People – Readings in Public Opinion and Propaganda, 1962. There is a second printing, but the first is best. (It has Plato’s Allegory of the Cave).
However, I think it’s too late for any of this.
