The thematic possibilities of science fiction range across the provinces of many fields of literature, partaking in the variety of romance, gothic, historical, and mystery fiction, among others. Science fiction authors have the ideas available to all fiction writers at their disposal, as well as the scientific, futuristic, and alternative possibilities, limited only by their imaginations. For example, some themes relatively unique to science fiction include alien life forms, galactic empire, mental powers, faster than light space travel, nuclear holocaust, post-holocaust, colonization of new planets, time travel, robots, utopia, dystopia, and bioengineering (gene manipulation).A Close Examination of Speculative science Fiction, 1998.
