I'm thinking of the crawl sequences at the beginning of Star Wars, that just give you the background information straight up, and then start the excitement. I've just been wondering if putting a prelude like that at the beginning of a novel would be too 'lazy'? Lazy in the way that I'm providing context directly instead of having it explained by characters throughout the story. The book I'm writing is a Sci-Fi set a certain amount of time after society has been rebuilt/is being rebuilt after Nuclear War, so the prelude would somewhat detail this. Too lazy?
