What makes a great sci-fi story?
(lemmy.world)
I'm curious what users feel makes a great sci-fi story. What elements do you feel "make or break" the story specifically where sci-fi is concerned? For me, I really enjoyed the Expanse series, as it feels like there's a sort of "believability" to it all. The authors make everything seem very realistic, even if some of the descriptions and physics are made up.
What is it about your favorite sci-fi books and shows that make them your favorites?
I really enjoy stories about "people" just living their lives in a sci-fi space, like Andor or Silo.
Have you read the Wayfarers series by Becky Chambers? I think you'd like it if slice of life sci-fi is your thing!
I have not. Thank you I will check it out.
