Sci fi (science fiction) is a literary or cinematic genre that uses science and technology as an inspiration to create fictional scenarios involving the relationship between progress and society.
It is a highly imaginative genre with multiple variations of the progress-society theme, such as: imagined science or the imagined impact of actual science; imagined technology based upon actual science or
imagined technology based upon imagined science; or the impact of science and technology, or both, upon imagined societies.
The term comes from William Wilson's 1851 book "A Little Earnest Book upon a Great Old Subject": "Science-Fiction, in which the revealed truths of Science may be given interwoven with a pleasing story which may itself be poetical and true." Although there are many different types of science fiction, two categories are considered most basic: hard sci-fi (with an emphasis on technological realism) and soft sci-fi (emphasis on character development and philosophy).
