Sci-Fi Subgenres, Plausibility, Aliens, Robots & AI | LOL 016
from Lex Out Loud: Writing Science Fiction · host Lex Starwalker
Today I’m going to do my best to answer some of the questions you’ve submitted about the setting. I share some thoughts about differences between the subgenres of fantasy & sci-fi: sci-fi-fantasy/space fantasy, space opera & mundane sci-fi. Then I talk about how I was surprised in my research to learn that some things are far more plausible and imminent than I thought, while other things are far less plausible than I thought. Finally I talk about aliens, robots & AI in the setting and some plans for the stories that will take place within it.
