Science Fiction

Amongst the most popular books being writtentoday are those which are usually classified as science fiction. Hundreds oftitles are published every year and are read by all kinds of people.Furthermore， some of the most successful films ofrecent years have been based on science fiction stories.

It is often thought that science fiction is afairly new development in literature， but its ancestorscan be found in books written hundreds of years ago. These books were oftenconcerned with the presentation of some form of ideal society， a theme which is still often found in modern stories.

Most of the classics of science fiction， however， have been written within the lasthundred years. Books by writers such as Jules Verne and H.G. Wells， to mention just two well-known authors， have been translated into many languages.

Modern science fiction writers don t writeabout men from Mars or space adventure stories. They are more interested inpredicting the results of technical developments on society and the human mind； or in imagining future worlds which are a reflection of the worldwhich we live in now. Because of this their writing has obvious politicalundertones.

In an age where science fact frequentlyovertakes science fiction， the writers may find itdifficult to keep ahead of scientific advances. Those who are sufficientlyclear-sighted to see the way we are going， however， may provide a valuable lesson on how to deal with the problemswhich society will inevitably face as it tries to master its new technology.
