Science Fiction

The Science Fiction genre concerns technology myths in a world setting of the future, another universe, or the developing modern world. In the modern world, technology would be attainable in the close future as we foresee it. In the future, current modern technologies are developed even further to what inventors could only dream of creating physically. In another universe, technology can go beyond what we expect from what we have in our world.

An example of modern science fiction is the game Ghost Recon Future Soldier. The game brags a futuristic arsenal given to the character. The technology is said to be what is actually being invented or have already been manufactured.

Future modern science can be seen in Halo. Physical enhancements to the soldier, power suits, and advanced weaponry, all of which would provide inventors with inspiration for future technologies. Such technology would most likely be impossible in present times, so inventors can only dream of this technology in the far future.

Future technology in another universe can be seen in Bioshock. The character’s abilities concern weird science which would be highly unlikely to invent given the unreasonable mechanics behind it. The technology in Bioshock is Steam punk which is also weird science. Future in another universe usually boasts weird sciences that would not be possible in reality due to its limits. This genre can go far beyond the boundaries we have set for ourselves in the real world.

Science Fiction is a fascinating genre as it showcases how far technology can go. It serves as inspiration for inventors. We can only hope that science can prevail to bring fiction to reality.

Science Fiction has been argued to be more of Fantasy, but in truth, Science Fiction concerns change whereas Fantasy concerns difference. Some media classified as Science Fiction can have a slight relation to fantasy. Bioshock can be one of them as the character’s abilities mimic magic spells, and the steam punk technology is an exaggerated difference of real technology.

With Science Fiction being the fantasy of inventors, it has a chance to go beyond the boundaries of reality.
