Science Fiction Books – Full Of Imagination And Gizmos!
By Scotie Keithlow
Out of all the genres of books that have been written, science fiction seems to be one that is a class apart. The feeling towards the genre is either one of fanatic following or extreme hatred. Those who have a natural penchant for unearthly objects and unsolved mysteries tend to get addicted at a relatively young age, which could be as young as 7 to 8 years. To appease the curiosity and desire to read more of such books, there are science fiction clubs that are formed where infatuated kids or teens exchange books and videos of their favorite science fiction books and movies.
One of the first science fiction books that one can remember today are “The Time Machine” and “Journey to the Center of the Earth,” by H. G. Wells. Today these favorites have been replaced with modern classical space operas like Robert A. Heinlein’s “Citizen of the Galaxy and Orson Scott Card’s “Ender’s Game.” This kind of science fiction has a certain epic scope to the story. They contain galaxies fighting each other for power, phenomenal depictions of aliens, a twisted concept of time and many more.
Other than the space opera’s there are also those that base the stories on speculative fiction. They review current society and try to excogitate what the society will be like a hundred years from now by crystal ball gazing.
Given the growing popularity of these books every year sees a slew of new series and collections. If you are mesmerized by the concept of science fiction but have never tried reading one, then start with a small book. Skim through it before purchasing to determine whether it has a writing style that you like. The ones that are easy to read will prove to be more interesting since you are not likely to get too caught up with jargon that is incomprehensible.
If science books interest you then fantasy may be another genre that you might want to try since both these genres have a similarity between them. If has been seen that if one genre invokes you, the other will too. One major difference is that fantasy books tend to be set in the medieval times and often deal with magicians and sorcerers while science books tend to more about technology, gizmos, aliens and are set in a futuristic time zone.
