Science fiction is a form of fiction
that deals principally with the impact of actual or imagined science upon
society or individuals. Science fiction is based on imagined future
scientific or technological advances and major social or environmental changes,
frequently portraying space or time travel and life on other planets. Science fiction permeates our world,
culture and live. Everyday the fantastic is made fact by the technologies that continually
reshape our understanding of all that we experience.
New discoveries are always around the corner,
which is to say more than simply our context changes, for it changes in
radically unanticipated ways. The deep meaningful questions, considered against
this dynamic and modern backdrop, that all peoples have historically faced,
circle around the subject of just what does it mean to be human. Beyond the
humanistic and ethical thrust of this query, the genre of science fiction
pushes against, scrambles up, and attempts to climb over the obstacles that
existence thrusts upon us in our search for the answers and meanings to this
broad question. The History of science fiction
is one of mankind’s richest forms of true expression, captured by the imagination.
Even as make-believe as science fiction may be seem in its time, It more often
than not plays on real life concepts and cultural issues of mankind’s present
day climate, only slightly skewed from reality. It is these concepts that have
the power to immerse audiences into something so rich that it’s slightly
slanted factuality, from reality, causes little concern. Science fiction plays
on concepts of paranoia, anxieties, invasion and exploration that are often at
the centre of social and cultural issues of modern day life here on Earth.
Science fiction is a genre of fiction in which the stories often tell about
science and technology of the future. It is important to note that science
fiction has a relationship with the principles of science these stories involve
partially truepartially fictitious laws or theories of science. It should not
be completely unbelievable, because it then ventures into the genre fantasy. The
plot creates situations different from those of both the present day and the
known past. Science fiction texts also include a human element, explaining what
effect new discoveries, happenings and scientific developments will have on us
in the future. Science fiction is often about
the future. It can be about
imaginary new science and inventions such as spaceships time
machines and robots. Science fiction stories are
often in a world that is very different from the real world. They can have
science and tools that do not exist in reality. Science fiction stories often
take place on other worlds. The study of science fiction is the critical
assessment, interpretation, and discussion of science fiction literature, film,
new media, fandom, and fan fiction. Good science fiction can amaze and
motivate, warn, raise questions and spark the imagination .It is in
an unstoppable expansive force that is certainly not limited one particular
genre. Science
Fiction and Fantasy is, or has been, present in your life at some point. The
genre has helped progress society in many ways. Sci-fi and Fantasy are for the
creative. One cannot embrace the wild and imaginative plot lines without the
ability to think creatively. Sometimes the fantastical ideas presented in the
books and shows are absorbed by these creative and inventive minds and applied
to the real world. Gene Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek once said, “For
me science fiction is a way of thinking, a way of logic that bypasses a lot of
nonsense. It allows people to look directly at important subjects.”
