The alien invasion subgenre goes way back. This science fiction subgenre is just what it sounds like. This is just one writer’s view of the sci-fi literary landscape, and how it might be broken down into subcategories. Readers, writers and critics constantly debate the definition of science fiction, along with its different subgenres. This is not meant to be an authoritative guide or classification of science fiction subgenres. To that end, I’ve created a guide to the different types of sci-fi books, stories and subgenres. It helps us understand the big, bold world of sci-fi, while aiding our future exploration. It helps us zero in on the types of science fiction book subgenres we enjoy the most, so we can explore similar works. It breaks the “rules.” It travels beyond mainstream fiction, ushering the reader into new and exciting realms.Įven so, a little classification can be useful. But the thing is, this genre tends to defy categorization.īy its very nature, sci-fi pushes the boundaries of literature. People have tried to categorize the different types of science fiction books for a long time.
