Sci-Fi vs Fantasy Concept
- Science fiction explores new things that are conceivably possible, while fantasy explores what is conceivably impossible.
- This division is subjective, as different people conceive possibilities differently.
Optimism and Caution in Sci-Fi
- Sci-Fi writing often stems from optimism about science or serves as cautionary tales about technology's dangers.
- Sometimes, stories balance these two perspectives to explore future possibilities.
Early Sci-Fi Blended Genres
- Early sci-fi was more exploratory, driven by "what if" questions rather than strict genre boundaries.
- It often blended elements of fantasy, horror, and adventure, not yet clearly distinct.
