SF is not just literature, it's a community
SF vs. fantasy? (SF = answering questions such as, "What if?"/"If this goes on" vs. fantasy being more about magical ideas that are not necessarily related to our world)
SF is using what we know today to explore creative, hypothetical ideas. A platform for experts and amateurs to question where the future is heading, using multi-disciplinary fields of information. It strives to be diverse in its themes as well its as characters, settings, etc, and only in this way can truly be SF.
Asian-American aspect = three different categories:
- SF that is written by As/Ams
- SF that includes As/Am characters
- SF that explores As/Am cultures, themes, and/or identities
