Literary Genres – Science Fiction Literature 8 – Mrs. Munnier

Science Fiction Is a genre of fiction Involves elements of science – the stories always involve both partially true and partially fictitious laws or theories of science Is almost always set in the future

Science Fiction Is never completely believable. (If the plot, characters, and setting were completely believable, the genre would be easily confused with fantasy.)

Science Fiction The plots create different situations than those that would have been possible in the past, and those that would be possible in the present. Think “futuristic.”

Science Fiction Includes a human element and seeks to explain the effects that new developments may have on mankind in the future.

Early Works of Science Fiction The War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells

More Early Works of Science Fiction 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne

More Modern Science Fiction Titles include Brave New World by Alduous Huxley and 1984 by George Orwell.
