Should science fiction literature be plausible?
)
December 15th, 2024
Isaac Asimov wrote several sci-fi books in the early 1952 under the name Paul French. These novels were primarily aimed at youth, and were moderately successful.
A few years later, Asimov began writing more serious sci-fi under his own name.
A reviewer back then wrote: Astounding reviewer P. Schuyler Miller described it as “fast-moving space opera of a type we all know, with no particular regard for scientific plausibility.”
So my question: Does sci-fi need to be plausible? Are there limits to implausibility?
