Science Fiction

Read Revelations 7-9

Revelation 9:7 "And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men."

Science fiction stories usually take place in the future. They rely more on technology in the settings, pushing what we know of science to what might still be ahead and how that will affect us.

Characters may be from other planets and only look vaguely like something we would recognize, perhaps different parts of familiar animals put together in unfamiliar ways. That means the plots affect not only earth, but involve other planets, maybe stars, or could involve a different ocean world than what we are used to.

Settings tend to be stark at times, often taking place on inhospitable planets or entirely on a space ship. But as long as the science is something possible, most anything goes.
