highly imaginative fiction involving some actual or projected scientific phenomenon
Science fiction (abbreviated SF or sci-fi with varying punctuation and case) is a broad genre of
fiction that often involves speculations based on current or future
science or
technology. Science fiction is found in books, art, television, films, games, theater, and other media.In organizational or marketing contexts, science fiction can be synonymous with the broader definition of
speculative fiction, encompassing creative works incorporating imaginative elements not found in contemporary reality; this includes
fantasy,
horror, and related genres.Science fiction differs from fantasy in that, within the context of the story, its imaginary elements are largely possible within established or postulated laws of nature (though some elements in a story might still be pure imaginative speculation).
