Science fiction is like fantasy except for it has a scientific twist to it. Here's why this is one of my favorite genres.
Science fiction is one of my favorite genres in books. I love the cross between reality and fantasy and all sci-fi from James Patterson's Maximum Ride to A Wrinkle in Time by Madeline L'Engle catch my eye. From time travel to genetic experiments to aliens and people in other galaxies it is easy to tell what is Sci- Fi, most of the time.

4 Elements of Science Fiction
1. The story has elements of science in it (a true combination of science principles or theories, often space and technological advancements, and fiction)
2. The story has strange/unusual settings (imaginary, futuristic, alternate universes, etc.)
3. The story deals with critical aspects of society (events that could possibly happen because of science)
4. The story reflects human nature and society (human beings with human problems and human solutions—all of which happen in a science context)
