I’ve worked on the basis that sci fi means advanced technology, usually with an element of alternative or future reality. I must admit that this distinction hasn’t always been obvious in creating this collection. For example, the list of best fantasy books on Audible is under the umbrella of fantasy and sci fi. Is there any room therefore for ghosts and the paranormal? And horror in general? However there was one genre that posed more crossovers than all others: Science fiction.įantasy and science fiction are not only usually paired, but are often conflated. For example, when one thinks of fantasy, it often brings to mind adventure and action. And yet I debated whether there were further criteria.
This seems fairly clear cut, right? If it isn’t real, it’s fantasy. The Charismatic Charlie Wade Lord Leaf Urban/Realistic Marriage Love Romance Billionaire Rich Family urban Charlie-Wade amazing-son-in-law Charlie Wade was the live-in son-in-law that everyone despised, but his real identity as the heir of a prominent family remained a secret. Whether witches or gods, epic quests or chilling mystery, the one thing it takes to be classed as fantasy is that it cannot happen in real life. Fantasy is the genre that promises ultimate escape.
