==Overview==<br />
Science fiction, also called "speculative fiction" and generally abbreviated SF (or SF/F to include "/Fantasy"), is a form of literature which is difficult to define but which generally deals with changes in society, prototypically due to technological change but often looking at alternate histories, social trends in the present carried to their logical outcome, and other "what if" scenarios.<br />
<br />
SF often deals with the subject of [[futurism]].<br />
