Quote:I think that some of the more serious science-fiction authors would disagree with you. Hardline sci fi generally keeps its element deeply ingrained in scientific theory, while fantasy and "science fantasy" have elements that are not tied to our current perception of the world. To those writers that care, science fiction should focus on the science. In other words, rather than simply pushing a "go-faster" button to attain FTL ("Warp Factor X, Mr. Chekov"), hard science fiction tries to create a intelligent and plausible portrayal of how that element works, using theories currently being hypothesized and extrapolating from current technology. David Brin and Greg Bear are both good examples of this kind of science fiction, as are Ben Bova and Isaac Asimov.Ebony the Black Dragon
