Science fiction and fantasy come with a sense of wonder and exploration. You can have the best of other genres taking place in imaginary worlds of the past, present, or possible future. While sci-fi and fantasy can be a temporary escape from the real world, they can also be a way to understand the real world through a different lens. You can explore what it means to be human through both human and non-human characters. Through science fiction, dystopian and historical fiction, and even fantasy, we can explore possibilities of the kind of world we are creating.
