Science
Fiction is the fictional portrayal of scientific subjects in books,
comics, movies, television, and other media. Science Fiction can cover a
broad range of subjects such as time travel, space travel, alien
species, fictional inventions, and scientific discoveries. Other genres
such as horror, mystery, action, romance and even comedy can contain
elements of science fiction. Historically Science Fiction dates back to
the ancient Greeks as seen in books such as Vera Historia by Greek
author Lucian. Science Fiction in the modern sense began in the 18Th
century with classic stories such as Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan
Swift displaying the basic imagination that forms a foundation for
modern Science Fiction. During the 19Th century, science fiction
developed into what could truly be a separate genre. Perhaps the one
author who could best be credited with pioneering modern Science Fiction
is Jules Verne. It was in the classic books by Jules Verne that readers
first saw science fiction used to predict scientific and technological
inventions of the future. Jules Verne was able to predict space travel,
submarines, and aerial bombing in books such as 20,000 Leagues Under the
Sea (1870) and From the Earth to the Moon (1865). He also fictionalized
geology in Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864). Following Jules
Verne, were popular authors who again expanded the subjects in science
fiction such as H. G. Wells. With his exceptional novels such as The
Invisible Man, The Time Machine, and War of the Worlds, H. G. Wells
helped usher Science Fiction into the 20Th century.
As
real life science and technology has progressed, so has science fiction
with it. Through out the 20Th century, growing interest and fascination
with technology and science has increased the popularity of science
fiction media. Examples of this can be seen in the popularity of authors
such as Arthur C. Clark, Michael Crichton, Ray Bradbury, and others.
With the introduction of television and motion pictures, Science Fiction
found an excellent platform to expand. Some great examples of Science
Fiction's success in film and television are Star Trek, Star Wars,
Jurassic Park, The Terminator series, and The Matrix.
While
Science Fiction has seen dramatic growth over the previous two
centuries, it is likely that this is only the beginning of it's rise in
popularity. With the increased use of technological devices in the
everyday lives of average people we see an expansion of subjects suited
to Science Fiction. While Science Fiction was seen as a genre for a
minority of geeks in the early 20Th century, today geeks are becoming
the majority in society.
