Great science fiction deals with some of the most profound questions we will ever face: Are we alone in the universe? What is the next step for mankind? Where can I get one of those giant space lasers? Check out these 15 classic science fiction titles.
Published in 1818, "Frankenstein" is one of the first science fiction novels, establishing sci-fi as a distinct genre capable of both deep literary value and timeless storytelling.
