"The reason authors alnost always put a dedication on a book, Annie,

is because their selfishness even horrifies

themselves in the end. "

Stephen King (Misery)

Thanks to Chris Evans, who talks sense to drunks

And touise:

"Listening to you, I get tbe music,

Gazing at you, I get the heat.

Following you, I climb the mountain,

I get excitement at your feet."

Word was, they were going to have some heavy discussion on this topic

at Mexicon. A few definitions by the (in)fanous to get you going...

Science fiction is the search for a definition of nan and his status

in the universe which will stand in our advanced but confused state

of knowledge (science), and is characteristically

cast in the Gothic

or post-Gothic mode.

(Srian Aldiss)

Science fiction is that branch of literature that deals with human

responses to changes in the level of science and technology.

(Isaac Asinov)

Fiction based upon scientific or pseudo-scientific assumptions (space

travel, robots, telepathy, earthly imortality and so forth) or Iaid

in any patently unreal though non-supernatural setting (the future, or

another world and so forth).

(John Clute and Peter Nicholls)

Scientifiction (is) a charming ronance interuingled with scientific

fact and prophetic vision.

(EWo Gerasback)

A handy short definition of alnost all science fiction might read:

realistic speculation about future events, based solidly on adequate

knowledge of the real world, past and present, and on a thorough

understanding of the scientific nethod. To nake the definition cover

all science fiction (instead of "almost all") it is necessary only to

strike out the word "future".

(Robert A Heinlein)

That branch of fiction that deals with the possible effects of €rn

altered technology or social system on mankind in an inagined future,

an altered present, or an alternative past.

(Barry N Malzberg)

Speculative fiction:

stories whose objective

is to explore, to

discover, to

Iggl!,

by means of projection, extrapolation,

analogue,

hypothesis-and-paper-experinentation,

something about the nature of

the universe, of nan, of "reality".

(Judith lrerril)

It is that thing that people who understand science fiction point to,

when they point to something and say "That's science fiction!"

(Fred PohI)

A literary genre developed principally in the 20th century, dealing

with scientific discovery or developnent that, whether set in the

future, in the fictitious present, or in the putative past, is

superior to or sinply other than that known to exist.

( Bncyclopaedia Bri tnnn iss)

Science fiction is hard to define because it is the literature

change and it changes while you are trying to define it.

(Tm Shippey)

There is only one definition of science fiction that seems to make

pragnatic sense: "Science fiction

is anything published as science

fiction".

(Noman Spinrad)
