Kenny Mahan's 1st Post
My experiences with SF so far have involved various books I have read, TV shows I have watched, and movies I have seen. Being an engineering student, I have always appreciated the technical side of SF and the creative futuristic concepts that are presented.

Under your definition, Kenny, would Vin Diesel's Fast & Furious movies be science fiction? They use technology to advance the story (automotive technology, that is).
ReplyDeleteGood point. I would leave Vin Diesel's movie out of SF. My definition is probably a little too vague. When I made my definition I was thinking back to movies such as 2001 that used the advancement of technology to move the movie forward. I still think that at the heart of any SF story technological advancements are propelling stories along.
ReplyDeleteOh that's what I forgot to add: "advancement of"
