What is Science Fiction or Non-Science Fiction ???
452191
I have been getting  Analog SF&F magazine for many years.When I saw your question, the first thing I thought of was Science Fiction being not-true stories based on some concept of science - like space travel, aliens, other worlds, robots, etc. \nI thought of non-science fiction as horror - monsters, many of Stephen King's stories,  or Fantasy  - fairies,  trolls,\ndragons - like Anne Mc Caffery's books, or even Fairy Tales  - like the Brothers Grimm.\nThe neat thing about Science Fiction is that much of what was Science Fiction 20 years ago, is now Science Fact.\nSome Science Fiction writers are  neuclear physicists,\nsome work for Nasa (I guess they get to see plans for all kinds of new things way ahead of time!) One writer even designed one of the Mars rovers.  We will never leave this planet in my lifetime, so science fiction is the only way I get to 'see' other worlds,  and other species.\nGood Luck with your debate!

I agree totally...this is the best type of writing fiction to bring something to the table that is not fiction. In other words fiction writers, I'm talking about the script, who have done there homework properly, that teach someting, anything is the best type of fiction; whether, we are talking movies, books, T.V....\n\nOther Movies that are or were very successful succeeded at this form of writing: Jaws, Jurassic Park, The Day After Tomorrow...

The Da Vinci Code is a novel.\nThe writer put some historical facts in it, but it remains a novel where he spun a nice fantasy web.\nIt is not because somebody writes that the world is square that you have to believe it!

It's fiction.  It's made up.  It's not intended to be true.

novel. essays are never fiction, and autobiography shouldnt be. informational writings refer to facts, hence they shouldnt have fiction content. non-fiction novels also exist, in this case is the lenght of the work which makes it a novel (it could be regarded as a real big essay written with chapter and novel structure and even pace and prose style), and not the usual fiction element.\n\ngood luck.

Pick something your interested in and know about.  Otherwise, you won't care what you are writing about.  Even a non-fiction book needs to have some spark to it.

it's fiction.  dan brown did a great job of interweaving facts with fiction, but it is fiction.  i really enjoyed the book, but man have you seem all the study guides and extra paraphanalia at Barnes and Noble.  It's getting rediculous.

"To Kill A Mockingbird" by Harper Lee.\n\nIt's a classic tale depicting two forms of prejudice and demonstrating why prejudice is wrong and ofteb borne of ignorance. It's been taught in American and British schools for the last 30 years and is considered a modern classic.\n\nIt's also my favorite non-science-fiction book... EVER!

hmm the only Bean I know from anything sci-fi was in the enders game series of books, I don't believe there was ever a TV show of it.
