Description
Science fiction (often abbreviated as SF or sci-fi, with varying punctuation and capitalization) is a broad genre of fiction that typically explores speculative ideas based on current or future science and technology. Science fiction stories appear in a variety of media, including books, art, television, film, games, and theater. In some organizational or marketing contexts, science fiction is synonymous with the broader term speculative fiction, which encompasses all imaginative works that go beyond contemporary reality—this includes fantasy, horror, and related genres.
While science fiction and fantasy are often grouped together as science fiction/fantasy, they are distinct. Science fiction differs from fantasy in that its imaginary elements are usually plausible within scientifically established or scientifically theorized laws of nature, even if they involve a degree of speculative creativity. Traditionally, science fiction explores the consequences of these speculative ideas, earning it the label “literature of ideas.” Science fantasy, on the other hand, combines imaginative speculation with fantastical elements, entertainingly and logically portraying alternate possibilities in worlds that defy known reality.
