Science fiction books are a tremendous way of escaping into the longer term or to a foreign planet or galaxy to get advanced alien civilisations and technology only limited by the imagination of the author. Some books will take a really scientific approach to what could actually be possible within the future whilst others could also be looser with their application of science as we all know it today. regardless of the case, it makes for a few awesome storylines.

“Science fiction” is difficult to define precisely, as it includes a wide range of concepts and themes. According to American writer and professor of biochemistry Isaac Asimov, “Science fiction can be defined as that branch of literature which deals with the reaction of human beings to changes in science and technology.” American science-fiction author and engineer Robert A. Heinlein wrote that “A handy short definition of almost all science fiction might read: realistic speculation about possible future events, based solidly on adequate knowledge of the real world, past and present, and on a thorough understanding of the nature and significance of the scientific method.”

American science fiction author and editor Lester del Rey wrote, “Even the devoted aficionado or fan—has a hard time trying to explain what science fiction is,” and the lack of a “full satisfactory definition” is because “there are no easily delineated limits to science fiction.”^[6] Author and editor Damon Knight summed up the difficulty, saying “science fiction is what we point to when we say it.”

With sci-fi books, you’ll be taken to an area where science has advanced or is different from what we all know today. during this backdrop, there could be stories of adventure or war or discovering new planets and new species. Maybe humans have colonised Mars and are fighting an evil alien race or the hero has got to negotiate the politics of a world 1000 years within the future from now. Perhaps machines have appropriated and enslaved humanity and therefore the last free need to fight for the survival of humanity.

In the early 20th-century sci-fi short stories became popular within the USA thanks to the publishing of pulp magazines (magazine collections of short stories). These would keep teenagers enthralled with amazing tales of the longer term and alien worlds.

Today there are huge selections of fantasy books and our real-world technologies fuel the ideas for what a future may hold. it’s a huge genre that continues to grow and grow.

Science fiction is being written and has been written, by diverse authors from around the world. According to 2013 statistics by the science fiction publisher Tor Books, men outnumber women by 78% to 22% among submissions to the publisher. A controversy about voting slates in the 2015 Hugo Awards highlighted tensions in the science fiction community between a trend of increasingly diverse works and authors being honored by awards, and reaction by groups of authors and fans who preferred what they considered more “traditional” science fiction.
