    The science fiction type of entertainment is considered by mot to be fathered by Jules Verne (A Journey to the Center of the Earth and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea) and H. G. Wells (The Time Machine and The War of the Worlds). Sei-Fi, as it is commonly shortened, is a fictional story in which science and technology have a significant influence on the characters and plot. Many such works are guesswork about what the future holds and how scientific findings and technological advances will shape humankind.

    Writing in the late 1800s, Jules Verne was remarkably successful in his 10 guesses about future technologies of air conditioning, automobiles, the Internet, television, and underwater, air, and space travel. Unbelievably, of all places from which to choose, Jules Verne guessed Tampa, Florida, USA as the launching site of the first project to the Moon, which was only 200 kilometers away from the actual 1969 location at Cape Canaveral, Florida.

    One of the best-known science fiction books is Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell. Published in 1949, it was not meant as a prediction, but as a warning: Orwell was describing what he saw as the outcome of the ideas, trends, and emerging technologies of his time. Many invented terms from this novel have become common in everyday use, such as “big brother” and “doublethink”. Even the author's name has been made into an adjective—Orwellian—and has become a warning descriptor for situations where privacy is lost and the individual has no power and is completely controlled by the government. Nineteen Eighty-Four was translated into sixty-five languages within five years of its publication, setting a record that still stands.

    What helps bring science fiction into being is usually a new discovery or innovation. The author creates an analysis of the potential influence and consequences and then wraps it in a pleasant story. For example, the beginning of space exploration was followed a few years later by the Star Trek television program and movie series. The science fiction author's self-determined role is search the world of future possibilities upon the road which we are traveling.

    桑怿，开封雍丘人。举进士，再不中，去游汝颍间，得龙城废田数顷，退而力耕。岁凶，汝旁诸县多盗。怿白令：“愿往来里中察奸民。”因召里中少年，戒曰：“盗不可为也！吾在此，不汝容也!”少年皆诺。里老父子死未敛，盗夜脱其衣。里老父怯无他子不敢告县裸其尸不能葬。怿闻而悲之，然疑少年王生者。夜入其家，探其箧，不使之知觉。明日遇之，问曰：“尔诺我不为盗矣，今又盗里父子尸者，非尔邪?”少年色动，即推仆地缚之。

授郏城尉。天圣中，移渑池尉。岁余，改授永安县巡检。枢密吏谓曰：“与我银，为君致阁职。”怿曰：“用赂得官，非我欲，况贫无银！有，固不可也。”吏怒。怿不甚知书，然其所为皆合道理，多此类。

    始居雍丘，遭大水，有粟二廪，将以舟载之。见民走避溺者，遂弃其粟，以舟载之。见民荒岁，聚其里人饲之，粟尽乃止。怿善剑及铁简，力过数人，而有谋略。遇人常畏，若不自足。其为人不甚长大，亦自修为威仪，言语如不出其口。卒然遇人，不知其健且勇也。
