Science fiction or speculative fiction is a
genre of fiction and film with an imaginary
scientific, technological, or futuristic
basis. It is sometimes held to have its roots
in the works of Mary Shelley, notably
Frankenstein 1818. Often taking its ideas and
concerns from current ideas in science and
the social sciences, science fiction aims to
shake up standard perceptions of reality.
Science fiction works often deal with
alternative realities, future histories,
robots, aliens, utopias and dystopias.
