Science fiction books have long been able to depict immense landscapes of other worlds in a reader’s imagination, even well before movie technology was able to catch up, and far sooner than actual technology has taken us. This not only makes many of the best Sci-Fi books published decades ago still relevant today, but it also suggests that some of the newest books in the science fiction genre could easily be teasing hints of our own future in the generations to come. There are many examples of science fiction writers of the past spinning fantastical tales of future technologies that have remarkably come to pass. One of the most astonishing aspects of science fiction is the forward-thinking of the authors who write it. The future hasn’t been written yet in reality, which gives us plenty of latitude when it comes to writing it in our imaginations. But above all, the love of science fiction may come from the way the pages of these books allow us to look forward into all of the possibilities still ahead of us, rather than looking back at a past we can’t ever change. Those who have long enjoyed the genre can spend hours explaining why it’s their favorite-the glimpses into possible futures for humanity, the advanced technologies, the thrill-ride of adventures into places we aren’t yet capable of exploring in reality, and the simple fun of leaving this world for another in our imaginations. There are many reasons to love the best Sci-Fi books.
