The process of creating a science fiction work is considered as a process of interaction of two concepts related to both everyday knowledge and scientific knowledge and being in dialectical interaction. It is shown that in a science fiction work, the share of both scientific and fantastic has a limit. In both cases, when such limit is reached, the work can no longer be related to science fiction. The influence of the modular-block structure of technical knowledge on the process of formation of a science fiction object is considered: a book, a film, a computer game. The works in the style of cyberpunk and steampunk are established to serve as the basis for works in the genres of utopia and dystopia, but the possibilities of each style are different, that is, there is a kind of asymmetry that appears both in the works themselves and in their perception.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
