In sci fi novels ideas that challenge our imaginations are presented in an exciting and entertaining manner. These ideas are based around a wide variety of topics such as space travel, parallel universes, extraterrestrial life, future technology and medical developments. The power of this genre is that it has the ability to lift us right out of our present world. We are entertained by the different visions we are presented with and are even able to think about some of the issues of our own world more clearly as a result.
Genetic engineering is just one of the ideas being written about today. Many themes revolve around human beings whose physical and mental capabilities have been enhanced in some way. One of the issues addressed is whether these abilities are used for good or evil and how this affects those around them.

We all speculate about the future and in these books we are presented with many different scenarios. Some of these are apocalyptic in nature such as those where humans suffer dire consequences because of what they have done to nature. Others may take problems of our current world, like poverty and disease and offer future scenarios where these kinds of problems have solutions.
Technological advances are the subject of many such books. They play on our fears that technology will take over our lives. Isaac Asimov wrote about robots in a way that made us really begin to think about the implications of artificial intelligence from every angle, including ethically and legally.
The boundaries between genres today are becoming less rigid. For example, sometimes it is hard to draw the line between science fiction and fantasy. Genres often draw from one another too. For example, a book about time travel can also be a crime novel with a serial killing time traveler as the main character. A book about another universe can include a romance and a fantasy world may contain inventions that are scientifically believable.
Reading these books does help us to think about changes that might occur in our world but they are also a great form of escapism. We are lifted away from our daily problems into other universes and worlds that are described in intricate detail. H. G. Wells was one of the authors who succeeded in doing this and Jules Verne was another.
The books being written now cover a vast array of topics. There is still a place for those novels about aliens, outer space and robots as many people still enjoy reading these. However, our minds are now being exposed to a whole new r
