The Ultimate Science Fiction Fan Page

Science fiction elements are cast in alternative timelines and unconventional places. Frequently science fiction pieces are set in the future or the past, on this planet or another planet in outerspace and sometimes completely imagined settings. New age discoveries like superhuman robots, UFOs, spaceships and nanotechnology also often find a place in science fiction.

Science fiction pieces should be taken only for their entertainment value, however, sometimes offer great questions for the scientific world and even, sometimes, foreshadowing into what the real world might see one day. Automatically opening doors and mobile communication devices were seen on Star Trek long before at the grocery store and in your pocket. The Epic of Gilgamesh, an epic poem from the 7th century BC, is considered by historians as the first work of science fiction. The piece features a flood that is similar to events in doomsday science fiction pieces.
