What to Focus On

  • Literature should not be rejected only because it is not realistic.
  • Reality is not the only thing that matters in fiction.
  • Myths and legends can thrill readers even when they are not factual.
  • A fictional world does not need to follow real-world science exactly.
  • Internal consistency is more important than forcing a story into reality.
  • A strong story must be well-written and exciting.
  • A science fiction mystery is difficult, but not impossible.
  • John Campbell thought such a story was conceptually impossible.
  • A future society may include telepathy, light-speed transport, or computerized knowledge retrieval.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Science fiction must always be strictly realistic, and anything imaginary is automatically outside its scope.

Asimov classifies sword-and-sorcery as science fiction.

John Campbell believed science fiction mysteries were possible, and Asimov supported that view.

Memory Tips

Reality is not the only basis for literature

Mythological adventure and science fiction are parallel kinds of storytelling

Achilles and Hector as a classic example of thrilling myth

Science fiction can be equivalent to myth in another universe
