​@@SWLF Currently I am pursuing my masters in literature. I came across your channel few days back. I think this is the best channel for literature students. I request you to make some video lectures on the basics of English literature, like what is a novel, what are its characteristics and so on. I will be thankful to you sir forever.

Interesting, a general thought of what science fiction is rests on what it is NOT. Mostly. Science fiction is not a prediction, forecast or blueprint of the future.
