  Science fiction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
SF author Theodore Sturgeon wrote "A good science fiction story is a story about human beings, with a human problem, and a human solution, that would not have happened at all without its science content."
SF fandom has frequently served as an incubator for special-interest groups which originally coalesced within it and then hived off to form organizations or entire subcultures of their own.
SF fandom also has close historical links and a large population overlap with the hacker culture, and has been a significant vector in the spread of both neopaganism and libertarianism.

 Christian-SF
Christian speculative fiction (Christian SF or CSF), or, as some prefer to call it, Christian futuristic fiction (CFF), and Christian fantasy (CF) combine one or more aspects of speculative or fantasy fiction with Biblical themes to examine Christian doctrine, ethics, and relationships (with God and other people) in a fresh context.
Rick Sutcliffe's Christian SF fits this latter category, as his alternate worlds, unlike, say, those of C.S. Lewis, are not merely connected in a way that allows occasional travel from one to the other, but are all derived from the originally created earth.
Rick Sutcliffe's Christian SF also fits into this latter category, as his novels have ethical choices as their predominant theme rather than the science and technology that demands those choices be made.

 The SF Community - SF-36® Health Survey Update   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
A review of the first15 published studies revealed that the median reliability coefficients for each of the eight scales was equal or greater than 0.80 except for SF, which had a median reliability across studies of 0.76 (Ware et al., 1993).
The validity, and therefore the interpretation, of each of the eight scales and the two summary measures has been shown to differ markedly, as would be expected from factor analytic studies of their construct validity (see Figure 2) (McHorney et al., 1993; Ware et al., 1994; Ware, Kosinski, Bayliss, McHorney, Rogers, and Raczek, 1995).
Specifically, the MH, RE, and SF scales and the MCS summary measure have been shown to be the most valid of the SF-36 scales as mental health measures.

On the surface, this might look like yet another of those glossy coffee table 'encyclopedias', with everything that needs to be said about a subject squeezed into a well-illustrated double page (on Cities, Satire, Gender, Space Wars, AIs, Robots, Alternate Worlds, Future Histories, Cyberpunk, Mars,...).
SF is a genre mainly of words, less of pictures, so the 'illustrated' part is dominated by photographs of book covers and authors.
This is a fun browsing book, with lots of variety: in addition to the two page spreads, there are timelines, author profiles and bibliographies, classic book profiles, and short-short reviews of SF films and TV shows.

Apparently not very keen on SF history, Mann clearly intends this book to represent a snapshot of the genre in its current state of flux.
Patchy coverage of genre artists is included in the printed SF section but this area is grossly under-covered.
This book may prove rather unsatisfying if compared to something like John Clute and Peter Nicholls' outstanding contributions to SF criticism, but it is a whole lot cheaper, and it mostly succeeds as an above-average quality volume, albeit one primarily suitable for teenagers who're just developing an interest in SF.
