Science fiction
From the Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can change
Science fiction (often shortened to sci-fi or SF) is a genre of fiction (make believe) that has descriptions of the future, often involving stories about imaginary (make-believe) new technologies and inventions such as space ships, rockets, and robots. Science fiction's descriptions of the world are often different than the actual technology available. Science fiction stories often take place in other imaginary planets or universes, and there are often alien creatures.
Novels, movies, and other literature can be in the science fiction genre.
Science fiction writers often use it to highlight an issue of today such as a political issue by putting it into a futuristic setting. Usually the world is shown as very different to bring more focus to the issue. Good science fiction often is about common issues to everyone and every nation.
