Science fiction is the genre which discusses the fictional extrapolation of scientific concepts and discoveries; sub genres include Futurism, Time Travel, Dystopia / Utopia and with some crossover with Fantasy in "Science Fantasy" where metaphysical concepts are allowed by the distance from Earth in space-time. Science Fiction has the edge in quality and innovation, as the genre as a whole has such groundbreaking influence in HG Wells, Isaac Aasimov, Arthur C Clark and Phillip K.
