Are all novels science fiction?

No. There are superheroes whose concepts are not science - based. Consider characters like Wonder Woman. While she has some elements that could be seen as science - like her super strength and speed - her origin is deeply rooted in Greek mythology. She was created from clay by the gods. So, not all superheroes are science fiction.

No. Only a portion of animes are science fiction. There are also anime about historical events, like 'Sengoku Basara', which is set in Japan's Warring States period.

No. There are plenty of real robots. For instance, there are robots used in warehouses to move goods around. They are not from science fiction but are practical tools in the modern economy.

I think 'Ender's Game' by Orson Scott Card is very important. It delves into themes of child soldiers, leadership, and morality in a science - fiction setting. 'Neuromancer' by William Gibson is a landmark in cyberpunk science fiction. It was one of the first to really explore the idea of cyberspace and the impact of technology on the human mind. 'The War of the Worlds' by H.G. Wells is an old but very influential one, as it was one of the first to depict an alien invasion.

Yes. Science fiction often involves speculating about future technologies, alien life forms, different social structures, etc. It takes elements of current scientific knowledge and extrapolates from them, which is the essence of speculative fiction.

Well, it could be a genre within science fiction that plays with the idea of fictional elements within the science fiction framework. Maybe it's stories about fictional works in a science - fictional world.

One common theme is future technology. Science fiction often explores advanced gadgets and machines that don't exist yet. Another is space exploration, like traveling to other planets or galaxies. Also, dystopian and utopian societies are popular themes. Dystopias show a negative future, like in '1984' with its totalitarian regime. Utopias, on the other hand, present an ideal world, which can make us think about what a perfect society could be.

It could be about science - related topics presented in a fictional way on Fridays. Maybe it's a series that combines real scientific concepts with fictional stories to make science more accessible and interesting on that particular day of the week.

This statement might seem extreme. But perhaps it means that activism often aims for ideals that seem as far - fetched as science fiction. Activists strive for a better world, like in a utopian sci - fi story. However, it's a bit of a misnomer as activism is very real and can bring about actual change, while science fiction is mostly in the realm of imagination.

Definitely not. Most ghost stories are rooted in superstition, legend, and the idea of an afterlife which has no scientific basis. They are often used to evoke fear or convey moral lessons from a cultural or religious perspective.
