SCIENCE FICTION--As definited in The Handbook to Literature is "A FORM OF FANTASY IN WHICH SCIENTIFIC FACTS, ASSUMPTIONS, OR HYPOTHESES FORM THE BASIS, BY LOGICAL EXTRAPOLATION, OF ADVENTURES IN THE FUTURE, ON OTHER PLANETS, IN OTHER DIMENSIONS IN TIME OR SPACE, OR UNDER NEW VARIANTS OF SCIENTIFIC LAW."
Isaac Asimov: "Individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinder critics and philosophers of today - but the core of science fiction, its essence, the concept around which it revolves, has become crucial to our salvation if we are to be saved at all." ("My Own View," The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction)
