The stories of Dan Simmons are different from those of Ursula K. The best science fiction is just as likely to talk of world war as it is of Martians. Exploring the vast catalogue of sci-fi is an enchanting experience that is just as likely to bring hilarity to the table as horror, offering everything from the short stories of Kim Stanley Robinson to the complex world building of Robert A. Others see darker themes and are acting as mine canaries, warning us of impending threats. Some sprinkle their stories with wit and recognisable cultural references.
Wells and Jules Verne, science fiction writers have tried to ask “What if?” and have come up with a million different answers. Science fiction is a catch-all title for a broad genre - trying to mount a mood, a plot or a style into its frame would be futile, as the range of science fiction authors is as varied as, well, the short stories, novellas and space operas that they write.
