About Science Fiction
Science Fiction is a branch of Speculative Fiction that focuses on creative elements that do not exist in the natural world. Whether it is Hard Science Fiction, which works with embedding natural elements like chemistry and physics with fictional aspects, or Soft Science Fiction, which incorporates learnings from sciences like sociology and psychology, the connecting factor of this subgenre is that it centers around exploring imagined elements, often incorporating innovations from emerging science research. As it is a speculative look into a future world or a re-imagining of the past, Science Fiction produces an endlessly creative genre of work. From Dystopian to Steampunk to Fantasy to Space Operas, and more, nothing is off limits. Science Fiction also paves the way for social protest. It has been used to create allegories and offer touchstones for political resistance, such as in George Orwell’s 1984. In the same vein, Climate Science Fiction and Feminist Science Fiction offer authors a chance to play with the seemingly “natural” social world-orders to give readers a new perspective by including things that aren’t a part of life as we know it. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley’s Frankenstein is often heralded as the first work of modern Sci-Fi and Shelley as the mother of Science Fiction.
