Hi!
Hi everyone!
My definition of science fiction is writing that distorts reality through the use of technological inovations as well as technology and scientific means that have yet to be discovered. For me science fiction is a way of bringing impossible or improbable feats into a literary world where these feats constitute a normal way of life. Science fiction can discuss all aspects of society (political, social, economic).
I have read Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale and thoroughly enjoyed it. One of my favorite books in Orwell's 1984. I'm sure that I have read other science fiction material, but these two works are the only ones that I distictly remember. I'll be honest. Science fiction has not been my favorite reading in the past, but I'm anxious to get into the material for this class.
