Science fiction often explores the impact of technology on humanity, questioning how inventions like AI, cloning, or space travel might change society and identity. It examines what it means to be human, especially when people encounter aliens, machines, or genetic modifications that blur the line between human and non-human. Many stories reflect social and political commentary, using futuristic settings to critique power, inequality, and environmental destruction. Finally, sci-fi often grapples with the limits of knowledge and control, warning that human curiosity and ambition can lead to both progress and peril.
