Science fiction is the literature of what if - the genre that takes one idea about the future, science or society and follows it all the way to the horizon. From galaxy-spanning space opera and rigorous hard SF to dystopias, time travel and first-contact stories, it's fiction that makes you think while it makes you turn the page.
