| Science and Fiction all in one |
I’ve found Science Fiction to be the genre some are reluctant to admit they read. It seems to be more than hidden genre, even more than horror/dark fiction.
Why?
Because it can be seen as either too techie and dry or too campy. Both fit the genre perfectly. You can have your dry techie science fiction stories and escape to an advanced age or travel back to somewhere simpler. Either way there’s science in there drawing your mind to its logic.
Science fiction can make you think. Think about whether or not something fictional could ever be made real…think Star Trek gadgets. Sure, it’s a television show, but somewhere there was the idea on paper before the visual.
And campy…now we’re talking. Over the top adventures to outer and inner space. Visitors from other worlds. The battle between science and magic.
And then everything in-between. You know, I think explore is a better word than escape for science fiction.
Oh, but watch out the for argument: SF, Sci-Fi, Science Fiction. Which do you prefer?
