Science Fiction is not About the Future
Wait! What? If it’s not about spaceships and aliens and strange new worlds, what is sci-fi about?
It’s about what’s going on here, now, to us— just like other genres. Setting the story centuries in the future is a way for the author to view our world from a different perspective. Which is cool. But not necessary.
Here are some sci-fi and speculative fiction works set in the author’s own time. Some old, some new. Some not even sci-fi. But all will give you a new perspective on the world.
