The Art of the “What-If?”: In 17 Science Fiction Tales from the Past by Paul J. Nahin
Requirements: .PDF/.ePUB reader, 18 mb
Overview: Contrary to popular belief, the goal of science fiction (SF) is not the prediction of the future, but rather to explore the multitude of possible futures. That is, SF is the literature of ‘what-if’ scenarios. This book explores more than a dozen such possibilities, with each chapter ending with a fictional illustration of the theme of that chapter (time travel, topology, alternate worlds, computer intelligence tests for politicians, invisibility, and more).
