Science Fiction

Fiction written with some modification to known science
Generally, the fewer the better.

Examples,
Faster than light travel, extra planetary Intellegence.

Write story about consequences of the modification
Using standard Fiction principles.

There, generally, the more modifications to known science
The more SciFi becomes fantasy.

Ah, but what about the “hard” science fiction, where there is no deviation from known science, but just an extrapolation towards the future. I’m thinking some of the Niven stuff, and maybe some Asimov, and such.

I like Primer. Filmed by a conservative for 7K

Won Sundance.

Worth the watch, again and again.
