Amongst the most popular books being written today are those which are usually
classified as science fiction．Hundreds of titles are published every year and are read by all
kinds of people．Further more，some of the most successful films of recent years have been
based on science fiction stories．
It is often thought that science fiction is a fairly new development．in literature，but its
ancestors can be found in books written hundreds of years ago．These books were often
concerned with the presentation of some form of ideal society，a theme which is still often
found in modern stories．
Most of the classics of science fiction，however，have been written within the last one
hundred years．Books by writers such as Jules Verne and H．G．Wells，to mention just two
well—known authors。have been translated into many languages．
Modern science fiction writers don’t write about men from Mars or space adv．enture
stories．They are more interested in predicting the results of technical developments on
society and the human mind；or in imagining future worlds which are a reflection of the
world which we live in now．Because 0f this their writing has obvious political undertones．
In an age where science fact frequently overtakes science fiction，the Writers may find it
difficult to keep ahead of scientific advances．Those who are sufficiently clear-sighted to see he way we are going，however，may provide a valuable lesson on how to deal with the
problems which society will inevitable face as it tries to master its new technology and come terms with fl continually changing view of the world．
