Science fiction is a literary genre based on scientific speculation.
Works of science fiction use the ideas and the vocabulary of all
sciences to create valid narratives that explore the future effects of
science on events and human beings. Science Fact and Science Fiction
examines in one volume how science has propelled science-fiction and,
to a lesser extent, how science fiction has influenced the sciences.
Although coverage will discuss the science behind the fiction from the
Classical Age to the present, focus is naturally on the 19th century
to the present, when the Industrial Revolution and spectacular
progress in science and technology triggered an influx of
science-fiction works speculating on the future. As scientific
developments alter expectations for the future, the literature
absorbs, uses, and adapts such contextual visions. The goal of the
Encyclopedia is not to present a catalog of sciences and their
application in literary fiction, but rather to study the ongoing flow
and counterflow of influences, including how fictional representations
of science affect how we view its practice and disciplines. Although
the main focus is on literature, other forms of science fiction,
including film and video games, are explored and, because science is
an international matter, works from non-English speaking countries are
discussed as needed.
