Can you give some examples of the opposite of science fiction?

Sure. A historical fiction novel like 'War and Peace' is an example of the opposite of science fiction. It focuses on real historical events and the lives of people during that time. Another example could be a contemporary realistic novel that tells the story of a person's daily struggles in a modern city.

Documentaries are an example of the opposite of science fiction. They deal with real - life events, people, and phenomena. There's no made - up alien invasions or time travel like in science fiction.

Yes. '1984' is an example. It delves into themes like totalitarianism, surveillance, and the human condition in a dystopian setting. There's not much focus on hard science in it, which makes it different from hard science fiction. Instead, it explores how society functions and how people are affected by political and social systems.

Yes. Documentaries can be considered an example of the opposite of fiction in the audiovisual realm. In the written form, self - help books are non - fiction as they are based on real - life advice and experiences. And then there are journalistic articles that report on real events. For instance, articles in The New York Times that cover current affairs are non - fiction, presenting facts and real - life situations rather than fictional stories.

Yes. Historical accounts are the opposite of fiction. Consider a book about World War II. It details real events, battles, and the people involved. Another example is a documentary - style book about wildlife. It's based on real observations of animals in their natural habitats, not made - up stories like in fiction.

Romance novels can be considered the opposite. They mainly focus on relationships, love, and positive emotions between characters, not on crimes and investigations.

Sure. Fantasy is an example. Think about 'The Lord of the Rings' with its hobbits, wizards, and magical rings. It's far from the real world of realistic fiction.

History. Science fiction usually creates new and imaginary scenarios, but history is about past events that actually happened. It's a record of real occurrences, in contrast to the made - up tales in science fiction.

Sure. A plain text - based novel like 'Pride and Prejudice' is an example. There are no illustrations in it, just text that describes the story, characters, and settings, which is quite different from a graphic novel that uses both pictures and text.

Yes, for example, 'The Great Gatsby' is not a comic novel. It's a rather serious exploration of themes like wealth, love, and the American Dream. The tone is not humorous but rather melancholic and reflective.
