What are the disadvantages of science fiction?

Answer 1

Science Fiction is not a fact it is just a waste of time. science fiction is something we hear about day out. It is just a writing about aliens and spaces and strange creatures-and people writing about the future

Science fiction is constantly in danger of being incredulous, that is the reader may decide to not take it seriously and therefore lose all insight that the story was trying to convey. Most often this is the fault of the author as he/she may chose to include elements that are 'hard to swallow'.

For instance few people take Star Wars: A New Hopeseriously as they do not seriously believe that there is such a thing as The Force and that it can augment a person to perform Super-Human things.

However readers can well believe the idea of a television that watches you as you watch it. I certainly do, in fact I'm sure that I could build such a thing quite easily. Therefore readers such as myself find 1984 a very frightening book indeed.
