Was an infinite genre novel considered science fiction?

Yes. 'The Original Frankenstein' is indeed considered a work within the science fiction genre. It was one of the early works that explored scientific concepts such as creating life through artificial means, which are key elements in science fiction. Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein' was revolutionary in its time, presenting ideas that were far - ahead of its era regarding the implications of scientific experimentation and the role of the creator and the created.

No, they're separate. Fantasy is more about the supernatural and fantastical, while science fiction is grounded in scientific possibility and speculation. But sometimes a story might have features that blur the lines a bit between the two.

Sure. There are elements in fantasy that can be related to science fiction. Take the idea of teleportation in some fantasy stories. It could be seen as a precursor to the scientific concept of instant transportation. Although in fantasy it might be achieved through magic, in science fiction it would be based on some technological innovation. So, in this sense, the fantasy genre can have aspects that are in line with science fiction and thus could be considered part of it.

In 2019, 'The City in the Middle of the Night' was quite good. It's set on a tidally - locked planet and explores themes of power, society, and survival. The world - building is really well - done, creating a vivid and unique setting for the story to unfold.

It could be considered a scientific docudrama. Since it's not pure science fiction, it might be seen as a dramatized version of real scientific concepts.

Yes, fiction is definitely considered a genre. It encompasses a wide range of stories and types of writing that are imagined or created rather than based strictly on real events.

Yes, they can. Fiction books are a broad category that includes many different types of stories. Science fiction novels are a part of this larger group. They have their own unique characteristics, but they still fall under the umbrella of fiction books.

Isaac Asimov's 'Foundation' series is very important. It introduced the concept of psychohistory, which is a way to predict the future of large groups of people. This series has had a great impact on how science fiction thinks about the future of civilizations and the role of science in it.

I think 'The Time Machine' by H.G. Wells is quite good. It shows different future societies, one of which could be considered a utopia in some ways, with the Eloi living in a seemingly idyllic but ultimately flawed world. Another is 'The Left Hand of Darkness' by Ursula K. Le Guin. It explores genderless society concepts which are related to creating a more inclusive and perhaps utopian social structure. 'Solaris' by Stanislaw Lem also has elements that make you think about utopian ideals in relation to an alien planet and the human attempts to understand it.

Yes, YA fiction is definitely considered a genre. It's specifically targeted at young adult readers and has its own distinct characteristics and themes.
