![]() ![]() Somewhere in Time is well within the time-travel sub-genre. The Time-Traveler’s Wife, Slaughterhouse-Five and Jurassic Park are all science fiction – they just weren’t marketed that way. When they do, nobody thinks of them as sci-fi, but they are. Written science fiction, on the other hand, has gone through many generations since the 1920s, few of which show up in film. Unfortunately, with rare exceptions, sci-fi films resemble written science fiction of the 1920s and 30s – full of adventure, a gosh-wow attitude toward technology and characters who are paper-thin, there to have terrible things happen to them and somehow find a way to survive. If you haven’t been reading sci-fi, chances are you know of it only through science fiction movies. Written science fiction has as much variety inside it as all of literature has outside it. ![]() What would you say to a book lover who has never read science fiction, to persuade them to try the genre?
