Can you briefly explain the difference between horror and science fiction?

Well, cyberpunk is centered around a dystopian future where technology has created a lot of problems, especially in big cities. It's about things like cybernetic implants and how they can make the rich more powerful and the poor more oppressed. Science fiction is more general. It can be about anything from robots taking over the world to humans evolving into something new. It doesn't have to be so focused on the negative impacts of technology like cyberpunk does.

Hard science fiction often has complex scientific concepts. It's for those who like real science in their stories. Soft science fiction is lighter on science and heavier on things like emotions, relationships, and social issues in a sci - fi setting.

Soft science fiction often uses science - fictional elements to tell stories about people, cultures, emotions, etc. Hard science fiction, however, is based on scientific knowledge and principles, and the scientific elements are crucial to the story.

History is about what truly happened in the past. It's based on evidence. Fiction is the product of an author's imagination, not real - world facts.

Sure. Fiction is untrue, like fantasy stories. Nonfiction is true, like a documentary.

Fiction is about made - up worlds and events, like in a science - fiction story. Nonfiction deals with actual facts. Fiction can be very creative and imaginative, but nonfiction is more about presenting reality, such as in a documentary - style book.

Sure. Golden Age sci - fi emphasized scientific ideas and heroic adventures. New Wave was more about new styles and social topics.

Sure. Literary fiction is more about high - brow themes and complex writing, while popular fiction is for easy entertainment.

Sure. Fiction is untrue, created from the author's mind, like fairy tales. Nonfiction is real, like a history textbook.

Sure. A novel is a long work of fiction, often with a complex plot. A fiction book can be any book that is fictional, including short story collections which are not novels.
