• Sci-fi uses the images that sf - starting with H.G. Wells - made familiar: space travel, aliens, galactic wars and federations, time machines, et cetera, taking them literally, not caring if they are possible or even plausible.

I've written both, but I have to say I respect science fiction enough that I wince when people call it sci-fi.

  Ursula K. Le Guin
