Definition of Science Fiction?
Re: Definition of Science Fiction?
#4
I think a major difference between fantasy and SF is that typically shows you an entirely different world, setting, etc. whereas SF, while the setting may be different, focuses on what would happen if we took a base world and introduced/removed Element A. That's my rough definition; SF hinges on a simple "What if?" (That and it typically involves/includes some of difference in physical phenomena/technology.)-----------------
Self-realization. I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, when he said, "I drank what?"
