Editor's Notes
- #17 Hard science fiction explores the potential technology we have at our fingertips. Sample is Michael Chrighton’s Jurassic park Soft science fiction sample is star wars by George lucas as it s more focused on the relationship and inner turmoil of the characters rather than the science of the creation of life itself. Space opera is one of the most confusing genre as it is a long running sci fi series with continuing story arcs. It focuses on a large scale. Sample dune by frank herbert, it tells the story of several families living on an inhospitable planet covered in sand dunes.
