Best selling science fiction books. Logic and vocabulary
There is no limit to how far imagination can extend in #scifibooks, and to compliment this limitless extension of scifi imagination; scifi readers develop a very special vocabulary. Without it they can never be able to feel that #scifi sense of fulfilment. And isn’t it for this reason most of us read scifi books!
What is this scifi vocabulary that the scifi readers develop in order to understand the true extensiveness of the scifi imagination that they are dealing with in the form of #scifibook?
Usually vocabulary is about words, concepts, phrases etc. For #scifi readers this form of vocabulary is a mandatory asset that they should possess. But apart from it they are also required to train their minds to gain access to a different type of vocabulary, which has nothing to do with words and phrases. It is the vocabulary of logic, where one logic breeds many more sets of logic. And then each logic autonomously begins to establish the logical sensibility presented by the loops of imaginations being brought forth in a continuous relay of imaginations by the #scifibooks that the scifi readers are discovering in a given moment of time.
In absence of this vocabulary the #scifibook would only be read by the scifi reader, because #scifibooks are like science books. Where the reader’s mind can follow the immersive story, but he/she would fail to comprehend its logical meaning that actually imparts true meaning to the scifi story.
A situation similar to a fruit tree that bears flowers but the flowers never grow into fruits.
And #scifibooks are similar to trees, where flowers represent the fiction based story. And when these flowers mature as fruit, the fiction based story which aims to explain a breathtakingly brilliant scientific idea, begins to make sense. Only then the flower that bloomed will have served its true purpose. And this is what logic based vocabulary accomplishes for scifi readers. It makes the #scifibook reading experience reach its true fruition stage.
Without it even the most well written scifibooks would come across as a maze of logic, where the path is clear, but the person supposed to cross the maze, forgot the fact that he/she had to fulfil this challenge on a dark night. When even the clearest path becomes obscured. And tragically for this explorer of the maze, he/she has no means to light up the dark and almost indistinguishable paths. So he/she keeps moving in and around the maze forever.
And for scifi readers their vocabulary of logic serves as a guiding light in this maze of imaginations. And it is only through this logic that scifi readers can compile a meaningful scientific imagination without letting the excitement of the fiction based story dwindle at all.
In absence of this vocabulary a scifi reader would be unable to experience the joy one derives from scifibooks- A scifi reading experience where only one thing will be copious, logical bewilderment! Even though he/she may somehow read every page of the scifibook, but as he/she would turn the last page, a deep sense of bewilderment will engulf his/her mind. Because the scifi reader was able to follow the story that was being played out among the characters of the story. But, when it comes to the scientific idea based part of the story, for which the entire fiction based story line was created in the first place. He/she would be clueless. Because his/her logic based vocabulary was not able to offer him/her the required stimulus that would help him/her to run the scientific idea of the scifibook along with the fiction based story of the scifi book.
As a result of this varying pace, the space between fiction and reality widens. It is a good thing when it comes to books which are purely fiction based. But when it comes to science fiction books, the gulf between science and reality should not widen. If it does, then the #scifibook would tend to feel more like a fiction story, with no scientific ideas in it. And it is in this regard that scifi genre is very different from other genres. In most of the other genres this responsibility of not letting the objective beauty of the book to be hijacked rests primarily with the authors. But in #scifi genre it lies with the scifi authors as much as it lies with the scifi readers.
And for #scifi readers to be able to accomplish their part of the responsibility, they ought to possess a decent vocabulary of logic. Without it the gulf between reality and fiction will be so wide that towards the conclusion of the scifibook the readers would feel they had been reading pure fiction. Fiction that had no science related references or ideas.
And we all know what this would translate into. The scifi reader will not be able to solicit the logical path that would make him/her to interpret the scientific ideas being relayed by the scifi story via a fiction based plot. That eventually leads to the main scientific idea around which the entire plot revolves. And when this happens, the scifi reader has understood the fictitious imagination of the #scifi author and not the scientific reality that he/she was trying to express via his/her scifibook.
Here the scifi reader conforms to his/her handicap, which prevents him/her from experiencing a new scientific comprehension. But most of the scifi readers overcome this impediment by creating mini reserves of logic. Which they source from their childhood based learnings, adulthood based experiences; and these reserves would bear different classifications for every individual.
By classification I mean the stages of their lives from where they borrow these reserves can vary.
Depending upon the age of the #scifi reader he/she could source it from: Stage 1 and stage 2. Stage 1, stage 2 and stage 3. Stage 1, stage 2, stage 3 and stage 4. And other combinations.
Depending upon the scifi reader’s age following are the possibilities of different stages from where the scifi reader can source his/her vocabulary of logic:
Childhood - stage 1
Teenage - stage 2
Adulthood - stage 3
Mid Age - stage 4
Late Mid Age - stage 5
Old Age - stage 6
And when the scifi readers source logical assets from these stages of their lives, they begin to develop a compounded reserve of logic. Which would now help them to make out the scientific side of the scifi story. And every interaction with a new scifibook adds to this reserve of their logic.
Thus, they are able to view the actual reality that the scifi author was trying to reveal to them via his/her #scifibook. Only because of one fact. They possess the logical perspective to facilitate their scifi reading experience.
Let me share something very interesting at this point. There is one #scifi book that takes the scifi readers' logical perspective to a new height. It is titled: They Loved in 2075.
This is a different type of #scifibook because it deals with the realities humanity will be facing in 2075. And to understand these realities of the future. Along with logical perspective a strong sense of love for humanity and earth is required too.
Because it deals with a strange scientific reality that would exist in 2075. All due to increasing interaction of humans with self aware machines. And due to this physical and emotional exposure to self aware machines, humans would begin to lose their human-like emotions and feelings.
And imagine this in a world where neural links are possible, quantum level computing is nothing uncommon, self aware machines can behave and emote like humans. And not only that, they even look like us. Apart from these advancements there are many scientific advancements that the scifi book refers to.
When this is happening, a boy falls in love with a beautiful girl, unfortunately she is not able to emote like humans. But the boy hopes she would someday.
To know who emotes better; humans or machines, and to find out if the girl feels human like emotions for the boy. Please read the scifi romance book titled: They Loved in 2075.
