Science fiction theory

Science fiction theory explores the themes, concepts, and implications of science fiction literature and media. It examines how speculative narratives reflect societal issues, technological advancements, and human experience. The genre often serves as a lens to critique the present and imagine possible futures, pushing the boundaries of what is considered possible. Themes such as identity, morality, and coexistence with technology are common. By analyzing these stories, theorists seek to understand their potential impact on culture, philosophy, and our understanding of reality, allowing us to engage with complex ideas about humanity's place in the universe.
