What books and
movies go out of style more quickly than science fiction? It might be
safe to say that science fiction is the genre that often faces the
harshest scrutiny, especially over time. Where are the flying cars?
The teleportation devices? Hand-held laser pistols? None of these
have yet come to pass, and when an author's vision falls flat in
reality, it's difficult to suspend disbelief and become immersed in
that author's world. There's also a very fine line with science
fiction when it comes to actual facts. If the author gets something
wrong and it doesn't align with current science, the rest of the work
is often disregarded. What can a sci-fi author do to avoid these
pitfalls?
