Titel 4 Science Fiction (EXAM TOPIC)

"Science Fiction" is a unit that explores the genre to discover what role it can play in society, beyond its entertainment value.

"Science Fiction" begins with a TED-Talk on the subject from which we base many of our discussions. Also, from the lecture, we are introduced to a fundamental two-word question regarding the world created by science fiction storytellers - "what if?"
