Even if you are one of those readers who claim that they don’t like science fiction, it’s more than likely that there are some works in the genre that you have appreciated and enjoyed. When it comes to science fiction there are some many diverse areas in literature, film, and art that even the naysayers probably have some favorites. Whether it’s a classic such as Frankenstein or a campy TV series like Doctor Who, nearly everyone can find some sci-fi to love.
