As far as my experiences with science fiction go, I would say that they are modest and not very thorough. With the exception of the Lord of the Rings books and the Harry Potter series, which I'm not convinced is even SF, my literary exposure is shallow. I do however enjoy many of the mainstream SF movies. Some of my favorites are: Back to the Future; Terminator 1 and 2, not 3; and of course....Star Wars. I am looking forward to seeing some more recent examples of where the SF culture is going now and in the future.
Science Fiction is the expression of ideas, through a media, that are normally considered as impossible, often timely, or other worldly.

"Often timely"? Not sure what you mean, Daniel. Is it a typo?
ReplyDeleteWhat do the rest of you think? Are Tolkien's Lord of the Rings and Rowling's Harry Potter movies sf?
