Alternate Reality..
“Alternate Reality...”
Yeah, but so is basically every story, unless it’s a scrupulously faithful historical retelling. I say if there’s nothing different about the physical universe or the way men control it, then it can’t very well be sci-fi.
Not to say that “Kings” doesn’t include advanced technology or metaphysical hints. From what I’ve seen, it doesn’t really rise to the level of sci-fi.
