    "description": "<p>Science fiction has proved to be notoriously difficult to define but has emerged as one of the most popular genres of the 21st century, not only in literature, but also in drama, poetry and film. In this 'Very Short Introduction', David Seed explores this genre in relation to themes such as science and technology, space, aliens, utopias, dystopias, gender and its relation to times past, present and future. He also examines the history of science fiction and its changing forms over time, ending with a consideration of the future of this writing which often attempts to foretell the times to come.</p>",
