The Definitions of Scifi
-
Definition 1
Science fiction is a genre of speculative fiction that contains imagined elements that don't exist in the real world. Science fiction spans a wide range of themes that often explore time travel, space travel, are set in the future, and deal with the consequences of technological and scientific advances. -
Definition 2
Within these alien situations, real human concerns and issues can be explored in an entirely different light. This makes the popularity of sci-fi two-fold: we are thrilled by the unknown and imaginative worlds, but it is ultimately about us. -
Definition 3: How People Read Scifi.
One of the reasons to read science fiction novels is because it's a healthy way to deal with your stress. As long as you find the right story, reading will help you relax. Books are a portal into another universe that you can jump into whenever you desire. -
Definition 4
Science fiction is the best because it can encompass ALL other genres like romance, horror, fantasy, drama action, etc. PLUS it can have space ships, aliens and robots. Every real genre can be combined with any other genre. Although a significant portion of that list isn't actually genres at all. -
Definition 5
Science fiction carries this change of perspectives to extremes. By changing what counts as figure and what as background, the characters can be seen in ways otherwise impossible – and so, ultimately, we can understand ourselves in ways that would otherwise be impossible. -
Definition 6
2 Differences Between Science Fiction and Fantasy Plausibility: A science fiction story generally extrapolates elements of the modern world and attempts to predict how they could possibly develop. Fantasy, on the other hand, uses supernatural elements that have no link to our contemporary world. -
Definition 7
Writing hard scifi needs a good knowledge of science, and the imagination to think what might be scientifically plausible and what its consequences might be. A lot of classic fantasy draws on deep knowledge of folklore and history. If you have a good idea for a story, write it and don't worry which genre it fits in.
