Science Fiction

Science Fiction is based on scientific fact, set most often in the future, and deals with the impact of technology and science on humans, humanoids, or other creatures.
Literature and the Child, 2nd edition, by Bernice E. Cullinan

Book cover A very good book I read was called In the Forests of the Night by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes. The book is a science fiction/time travel, young adult book. It's about Vampires and a girl named Rizika. Rizika gets changed into a vampire by the same person tat killed her brother. She needs to become stronger than him to find out the information she needs to know.

Book Cover

The Time Machine by H.G. Wells is about a man who invents a time machine and goes to the year 802,701 A.D.. There he finds that the human race has split into two new species: the kind, childlike Eloi and the disgusting, cave-dwelling Morlocks. The time traveler's machine is stolen by the Morlocks, and he needs to get it back.
There's a bunch of interesting (or boring, depending on your point of view) thinking that goes on in the time traveler's head about how the two species evolved and stuff like that. Personally, I loved it. Four Stars!
