Science fiction    Science fiction is a genre of fiction that comes in the form of books, television shows and movies that describe and base their plot and setting on places and things that have or have not yet occurred or been invented. It justifies its fictional contents by using rational. A common subject of science fiction is the future, space travel, life on other planets, alien encounters and so on. As far back as AD 170, Greek myths described people going to the moon, about imaginary voyages and of meeting strange people in distant lands but such tales did not really became popular until the 17th century around Europe. Famous novels included ‘Gulliver’s travels'(1726) by Jonathon Swift and ‘Frankenstein'(1818) by Mary Shelly. Many such novels revolved their (however far fetched plot) around the potentials of science. Further into the 19th century, many authors such as Rudyard Kipling and Mark twain  created a number of science fiction titles, though by far one of the greatest specialist in this area was Frenchman Jules Verne who wrote books such as ‘Journey to the centre of the earth'1864, ‘From the earth to the moon'(1865), ‘Off on a comet'(1877) and '20 000 leagues under the sea' (1870). In modern science fiction; H.G. Wells, Aldous Huxley, and Isaac Asimov (along with countless other authors) contributed enormously to the development of the public’s thoughts and imagination of science.    In the consequent advent of television, science fiction also become popular in the film industry where film makers sometimes focused on weird, wonderful, unnatural and bizarre creatures revolving around the lives of humans. Some famous films include ‘King Kong'(1933), ‘The time machine' (1960), ‘Close encounters of the third kind'(1977), 2001 space odyssey (1968), ‘ET'(1972), ‘The terminator'(1982), ‘Star wars'(1977) and Star Trek.. What helped boost the science fiction genre was the explosion of the nuclear bomb and the first successful moon landing which, even though was the subject of countless books in the past, was ridiculed by critics as being ‘purely fictional? This criticism became sparse as even more scientific feats like this were achieved.
