1. Romance science and prophesis
2. "that branch of literature which is concerned with the impact of scientific advance upon human beings
3. "a handy short definition of almost all science fiction might read: realistic speculation about possible future events, based solidly on adequate knowledge of the real world, past and present, and on a thorough understanding of the nature and significance of the scientific method"
4. literature that attempts to assimilate imaginatively, scientific knowledge about reality and the scientific method, as distinct from the merely practical changes science has made in our lives.
5. Sci fi is not trying to predict what the future will become it just show us that it could be possible.
6.
There are definite characteristics that identify science fiction. And most of these are closely related to the fantasy genre although there are definite differences between them. The most prominent of these being the basis for the plot, which is, invariably, loosely based on scientific fact, although the fact is then developed into fiction to create the plot line.
7. Space exploration is a fact of human life today, but science fiction takes that into dimensions that are impossible for humans to reach.
8. Therefore, the traditional characters to this genre tend to be alien - and as specified previously this can refer to alien beings from other planets or alien humans deformed beyond recognition. Another character that appears in science fiction literature is the non-human animal, again these generally tend to be mutated into fierce creatures,
9. Yet another characteristic of a science fiction location is isolation. The location and the central character are isolated from modern society.
10. realistic speculation about possible future events, based solidly on adequate knowledge of the real world, past and present, and on a thorough understanding of the nature and significance of the scientific method"
11. Most important requirement for science fiction is mythic vision, though it is not exclusive science fiction genre. But it is still a basic requirement that science fiction must possess in order to be known as science fiction
12. Hard science fiction primarily deals with the use of technology and space shuttle explorations into the outer sky.
Soft sci fi:
The innovative writers took a new path dealing extensively not with the physical aspects of science but moved towards other fields of human knowledge.
13.
The difference is that cyberpunk is a future that is controlled by computers where steampunk is controlled by steam
14.
Military science fiction stories focus on interplanetary or interstellar war and usually stress traditional military attributes, aided by a soldier’s point of view
15.
Basically apocalyptic novels describe situations in which the world has already experienced total annihilation due either to natural or manmade or technological advancement

1. Romance science and prophesies

2. "that branch of literature which is concerned with the impact of scientific advance upon human beings."

3. "a handy short definition of almost all science fiction might read: realistic speculation about possible future events, based solidly on adequate knowledge of the real world, past and present, and on a thorough understanding of the nature and significance of the scientific method"

4. literature that attempts to assimilate imaginatively, scientific knowledge about reality and the scientific method, as distinct from the merely practical changes science has made in our lives.

5. No, because there is no real religion or prophets involved in science fictions.

6. Characters and location is a great detail between sci-fi and other genres, and are very reliant on updated information.

7. Space exploration is a fact of human life today, but science fiction takes that into dimensions that are impossible for humans to reach. There may be a similarity in landing a man on the moon and the exploits of the Starship Enterprise, but the gap between reality and imagination is very wide.

8. First it started of as a creature with human like behavior, but has become more unnatural and stronger.

9. If you isolate the story there are not that many difficulties explaining the society.

10. It’s a more creative way to write the genre, and are used by more writers then when it began.

11. It must be explained like it’s a dream and that people would be in disbelief.

12. Hard SF is more with new advanced technologies and Soft SF is more with phycology

13. It’s in a computer or a virtual world, and steampunk is more with a society with old things but living in the future.

14. It could be something with a war but is fought with advanced technology like robots and superhumans.

15. Apocalypse is during an invasion it could be of undead, and post-apocalypse is maybe a wasteland after a big nuclear warfare.

16. It should be impossible to get to being human.

17. Romantic undergenre for science-fiction. mythological themes.

1: a combination of romance science and prophesies

2: that branch of literature which is concerned with the impact of scientific advance upon human beings

3: a realistic speculation about future events

4: a literature that attempts to assimilate imaginatively, scientific knowledge about reality and the scientific method, as distinct from the merely practical changes science has made in our lives

5: Well know, they are not. Sci fy is not trying to predict the future, rather its just try to make a believable futuristic world for the reader.

6:

7: Well it takes something like space exploration from today, and try to imagine a realistic spaceship, or what ever to reach, a place that could exist, but is impossible to reach for humans.

8: Well it started out with some superior beings, with more advanced science.

but over the years we've made them more hostile. and less human. compared to the earlier sci-fy alien. aliens have "evoveld" to be more creature than "boosted human tm"

9: usually the main cast of
characters are isolated from society. alienation of the location, helps the consumer with immersion.
typically the big optical of the story is to get back from this location, or explore it

10:
well arthors try to speculate what will happen if certin things / events were possible / happens. they try to speculate what will happen with cretin tech

11: immersion, creating a believable world. with out creating disbelief

1: Romance science and prophecies

2 : That branch of literature which is concerned with the impact of scientific advance upon human beings

3: Realistic speculation about possible future events (STAR WARS BTW)

4: A literature that attempts to assimilate imaginatively, scientific knowledge about reality and the scientific method, as distinct from the merely practical changes science has made in our lives.

5: Science fiction is a realistic speculation to our worlds scientific changes, some more than others. SF is not prophetic, it’s rather creative and innovative

6: Newly made technology that . The SF characteristics are closely linked with the fantasy genre, the major difference is that character and location are left to the writer.

7: We are still advancing on the space exploration thing here in our time, but man has always wanted to fly and go further and further therefore, an advanced spaceship that can fly half the galaxy in a second (Cough Star Wars) is nearly always present in sci-fi movies.

8: The alien back in the day, was a big round headed grey or green man, today we have advanced in society and have a bigger knowledge and we can therefore call something like the predator a speculation that may be true.

9: For example, as mentioned most sci-fi is in space and as we all know if you are aboard a space station it will most likely be isolated.

10: Speculations in SF is like “What would happen if…” What would happen to the human race if we were invaded by aliens or, what would happen if space travel to another dimension became a reality

11: Mythic vision is that you have to be able to believe in the author, if we do not believe, then the author has failed to provide a mythic vision, since the universe in which the story takes place the author has to alter our universe, and be like god

12: Hard SF = Technology is central to the plot, space wars, crazy plutonium guns and stuff
Soft SF = What would happen. They focus on the effects future technology could have on society

13:

Cyberpunk is about a dystopian society, that is dominated by computer technology

Cyberpunk is the old school sci-fi where, for example hot air balloons that have been upgraded alot.

14: Just like in the movie Avatar, future scientific war machines go to war against the blue peoplr in Avatar.

15: Nuclear wars has made the earth uninhabitable See “The 100's” for more information

16:

Alternate Universe SF is when there are 2 dimensions beside each other See “Rick and morty” for more information

Temporal/Dimensional - where people normally use vehicles to travel, to another dimenson and go to historical places or meet people

Military science fiction stories focus on interplanetary or interstellar war and usually stress traditional military attributes, aided by a soldier’s point of view. One of the staples of this genre is Forever War by Joe Haldeman, in which a university student is drafted for an 53 interplanetary war. When he returns to Earth years later, it ends up that a few years for him were a few thousands for the planet.

15.

Apocalyptic describe situations in which the world has already experienced total annihilation due either to natural or manmade or technological advancement. The settings are after a world-altering disaster such as nuclear war or an alien invasion and how humans overcome the event.
(Post=Before therefore it is just before the apocalypse.)

17.
It is a subgenre of science fiction. It emphasizes romantic and very often melodramatic adventure. It is set mainly or entirely in outer space. It involves conflicts between opponents who possess advanced technologies and abilities

The features like imagination, alien and isolation

Imaginative exploration into the outer space:

Some of the more common characteristics of science fiction literature are of humans with superhuman powers, space exploration that goes far beyond the capabilities of man and beings from outer space visiting our earthly realm.

Alien:

Some characteristics is some form of human beings with superior intelligence and power who were the denizens from the world either from above or from below the earth. Very often, aliens used to be represented in the form of giant creatures or animals.

Isolation:

The main character is isolated from modern society.

Space Opera:

The subgenre of Sci-fi; It emphasizes romantic and very often melodramatic adventure, and it’s location is mainly set in space. It involves conflicts between opponents who possess advanced technologies and abilities. The characters are explorers, and travel to watch and learn about new wolds.

Sometimes the term space opera is used pejoratively to science fiction often combined with mythological themes, but its meaning can differ, often describing a particular science fiction genre without any value opinion

1. Hugo Gernsback sees the genre as a combination of what?

Romance science and prophesies

2. What is Isaac Asimov’s definition of sci-fi?
“that branch of literature which is concerned with the impact of scientific advance upon human beings”

3. How is the science fiction writer Robert A. Heinlein defining the genre?
“a handy short definition of almost all science fiction might read: realistic speculation about possible future events, based solidly on adequate knowledge of the real world, past and present, and on a thorough understanding of the nature and significance of the scientific method”

4. Finally explain Joanna Ross’ definition of sci-fi literature.
“A literature that attempts to assimilate imaginatively, scientific knowledge about reality and the scientific method, as distinct from the merely practical changes science has made in our lives”

5. Is sci-fi prophetic? Elaborate.
That depends on what happens in the sci-fi story, though most stories aren’t. Most of the things are quite over the top and exaggerated to the extreme, so it isn’t likely that it will happen anytime soon at least.

6. Explain the characteristics outlined in the undersection “2.7 Features of Science Fiction”.
Plot is loosely based scientific facts, which is then developed into fiction to create the plot line. Science-fiction settings are often contrary of reality, but most relies on a degree of suspension of disbelief. Some more features are imagination, alien and isolation.

7. Explain space exploration in the context of sci-fi.
Space exploration is a fact of human life today, but science fiction takes that into dimensions that are impossible for humans to reach. There may be a similarity in landing a man on the moon and the exploits of the Starship Enterprise, but the gap between reality and imagination is very wide.

8. How has the alien evolved in the genre over the years, and how can the alien territory vary?
In the beginning the aliens was portrayed as human beings with superior intelligence and powers. They were also very often represented as giant creatures and animals. Though with the introduction of the internet the aliens began to become a threat to the very existence of human beings.

9. How does isolation play a role in the genre?
It allows the reader to escape completely into the fictional world.

10. How is speculation included in sci-fi?
You come up with an idea, an innovation that does not exist, but the author needs to speculate to get their idea to bloom.

11. Define the term mythic vision.
Mythic vision is the ability to make the reader believe that the universe, in which the story takes place, can work and “real”. So if the reader doesn’t believe in the universe and can prove their disbelief with logic, then the author has failed to create a mythic vision.

12. Explain the genre Hard Science Fiction and Soft Science Fiction.
Hard SF deals more with the use of technology and space exploration. It is supposed to give the reader the urge to enter outer planet and stellar locations. The soft SF deals more with the psychology, sociology and philosophy areas of SF, to be more specific they focus on the effects future technology could have on life.

13. What is Cyberpunk in contrast to Steampunk?
It is where events partially or fully take place in “virtual reality”, which is formed by computers or computer network. Characters are either human or artificial intelligences. Cyberpunk is about the negative, almost dystopian like societies in which computer technology dominates.

14. What is Military Science Fiction?
It is about the interstellar war and usually stress traditional military attributes.

15. Explain Apocalypse and Post-Apocalypse Science Fiction.
The apocalypse takes place while "the end" of the world is happening. Post-apocalypse is where the world has already suffered complete annihilation from either natural, man-made or technological advancement.

16. What is Alternate Universe Science Fiction in contrast to Temporal/Dimensional Science Fiction?

In alternate universe science fiction, something massive has happened in the past and has caused the history in the world to change or may involve an alternate universe existing beside ours. Where Temporal/Dimensional Science is more about time traveling and multiple universes existing besides our own.

17. Lastly, explain the characteristics of the Space Opera.
It most of the time about romantic or melodramatic adventures and is mainly or entirely set in outer space.
