Science fiction is a genre that has many devoted fans although it has undergone a number of changes through the years. Scientific discoveries and future possibilities drive these novels and readers are not only thoroughly entertained but challenged too. The best sci fi books are available online today, giving readers an extensive range to choose from.

Pure science fiction deals with what is realistically possible according to what has already been discovered. These current scientific discoveries are taken further and used to create realistic future scenarios. This is different from fantasy where magic is often a big factor and the imagination of an author is unrestricted by reality in any way.

Many novels being written today defy such strict classification as purely science fiction or fantasy. Some could probably be referred to more as science fantasy rather than science fiction as they hover between the two genres. Readers searching for science fiction novels online will find that they are often classified together with fantasy.

The rapid growth of technology has created a world in which change takes place at a pace that can be frightening. This has provided fuel for many authors. Isaac Asimov, for example, challenged us to think differently about robots. Change always provokes new challenges, fears and possibilities. In novels like this, readers can explore changes in a context that is removed from their own every day reality.

Developments in medicine and particularly in genetics have produced a whole new area of inspiration for authors. What if we could live much longer due to medical innovations? What if organs could be grown from stem cells? What if we could select the intellect or the looks of our children? These are just some of the questions explored from all sides, looking at all the implications both positive and negative.

The settings used are very diverse, rich and often startlingly realistic even though they are simply a product of the imagination of an author. Novels set on other planets or spaceships have gripped our imaginations for many years already. Apocalyptic novels dealing with the end of human civilization have been available for many years too. Nuclear disaster, runaway climate change and more captures and spells out our worst fears. Boundaries are constantly pushed and future possibilities brought to life.

The intricate detail and richness of these worlds created by these authors is often quite astounding. It is sometimes hard to believe that they are merely a product of the imagination. The characters too are often complex and finely drawn. This means that they do not only challenge but also offer great entertainment and escapism from the routine of daily existence.

These novels are available today from a wide variety of online stores. Readers who love a certain author are able to find all the other novels he or she has written. A reader who is unsure of what to read next can always go to lists of top picks or read customer reviews to find out what others have enjoyed before making a choice. It is often possible to benefit from discounts and special offers when purchasing online. It also offers the convenience of being able to purchase in various formats from hard copies to digital versions.
