Hard

I prefer a dash of fiction with my science. Give me hard data, zero gravity, and realistic ships.

Cyberpunk

Hardware is the wave of the future. Now let's jack into the net and mess with these mega-corporations.

Space Opera

Plasma swords, fighters destroying battle stations, and psychic powers thrown in just for fun.

Culture Clash

I really love the way the milieu in sci-fi is always so detailed, and often contradicts things/ideas we take for granted.

Apocalyptic/End of the World

Anything that features humans fighting to survive - whether it's due to war, viral infections or natural disasters.

It's science FICTION. Give me faster than light travel and aliens with forehead ridges.
