Despite decades of research, mass-market personal aircraft are still science fiction.; is imaginary writing based on current or projected scientific technological developments (The Animorphs series or 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea); literary fantasy involving the imagined impact of science on society; highly imaginative fiction involving some actual or projected scientific phenomenon; This fiction deals with the influence of real or imagined science on society or individuals; Science fiction consists of stories in books, magazines, and films about events that take place in the future or in other parts of the universe. stories about events in the future which are affected by imaginary developments in science, for example about travelling in time or to other planets with life on them. Fiction dealing principally with the impact of actual or imagined science on society or individuals, or more generally, literary fantasy including a scientific factor as an essential orienting component. Precursors of the genre include Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1818), Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886), and Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels (1726). From its beginnings in the works of Jules Verne and H.G. Wells, it emerged as a self-conscious genre in the pulp magazine Amazing Stories, founded in 1926. It came into its own as serious fiction in the magazine Astounding Science Fiction in the late 1930s and in works by such writers as Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, and Robert Heinlein. A great boom in popularity followed World War II, when numerous writers' approaches included predictions of future societies on Earth, analyses of the consequences of interstellar travel, and imaginative explorations of intelligent life in other worlds. Much recent fiction has been written in the "cyberpunk" genre, which deals with the effects of computers and artificial intelligence on anarchic future societies. Radio, film, and television have reinforced the popularity of the genre; A form of fiction that draws imaginatively on scientific knowledge and/or speculation; A story based on fictional, scientific possibilities; scientifiction
