Tips for Writing a Science-Fiction Book [sciencetechnology-center.blogspot.com]
Science-fiction is a popular genre. It can be fun, exciting and -if you're lucky- can bend your imagination to unthinkable limits. However, writing in this genre may not be as easy as you think. Here are some tips to ensure your science-fiction book is as strong as you want it to be.
Think about the story first. Then make sure it matches the genre.
Science-fiction is a genre. However, more important than the genre is the story itself. When you come up with your story, do not force it to fit into this genre. Instead, make sure the genre fits your story. If it does not, then the whole story will seem awkward and forced.
If you specifically want to write a science-fiction story, create a story you know will fit into the genre, but if you have the story first, do not force it to fit.
Do something new
Lots of stories have already been written. When you are creating your story, do something new. If you are unable to come up with an original story, then try putting a new and interesting twist on an old story. The key to engaging your reader is to make sure he or she has never read anything like your story before.
Know your world
When you create a world for your science-fiction book, it is imperative that you know your world completely, as well as the characteristics of its inhabitants. You may start with basic ideas of the world, its people and its culture, but in order for the world to be believable, you have to go deeper and know as much as possible about it.
Even if the reader does not see everything you know, the background information you have in your mind as you write will help you describe your world and the events that occur in it in a way that is much more believable.
Double-check your facts
Science-fiction is fiction, but the science aspect has to be plausible. So even when you speculate about technology or situations, it is important to double-chec k your science facts to make sure that what you are writing is something that could actually happen. If there is no scientific basis for what you write, your reader will have a hard time relating to and becoming engrossed in your story.
Everything should have a purpose
Do not include something in the story just for the sake of including it. Just as with any story, everything you write should have a purpose and help further the plot in some way. If elements of the story are thrown in to make it seem more like a science-fiction book without adding to the plot, they will detract the reader's attention to the story rather than engage it. Write to the story first, and the science-fiction elements will come from it.

Therefore, you should live in a fantasyland completely unsupported by evidence, right?

Yea, let's throw our sight, smell, touch, hearing and taste out the window and judge reality by our imagination instead!

This again. Surely Buddhism does not advocate spamming. And I thought you were only to give your opinion if invited?
Answer by Morbo the Annihilator
But your delusional bullshit is somehow the answer and magically penetrates the reality of realities.
Answer by The Lord of Misrule
I seem to have two choices, either what I perceive as reality is imaginary or what you perceive as god is imaginary. Now which one has the overwhelming weight of evidence to support it...?
Answer by Peter
The fact that we are observing reality through a specific reference frame does not make our observations invalid. It merely means we need to recognise that our reference frame is not all encompassing or absolutely defining. Once we recognise that we can begin to determine if our understandings obtained through observation truly are absolutes or specifically relative to ourselves. Intelligence and creativity to think outside of the box that is you is what's required.
Answer by Ray P - The dude abides
Yes. All our knowledge is just an approximation.
Answer by Gerry S
You confuse terms. You also confuse philosophy with religion and science. None of that changes the fact that science is an expression of how the world works. You claim it's all about what we perceive, but we actually measure things we are incapable of perceiving, at any level. It's not mere magnification, but actually reaching beyond our ability to perceive, to better understand the universe. Perception is not god, nor is science. And god is not reality (not in the theist view, anyway). Reality simply is, and science explains it.
