Technology in science fiction

Technology in science fiction is a crucial aspect of the genre . ^[1]^[2]

As science fiction emerged during the era of Industrial Revolution , the increased presence of machines in everyday life and their role in shaping of the society was a major influence on the genre. ^[1]^[2]^[3] It appeared as a major element of the Proto SF , represented by machines and gadgets in works of Jules Verne , George Griffith , H. G. Wells , Edward Bellamy and others. ^[1] Technology has been portrayed both in positive or negative ways; in some works it is a solution to the world problems, in others, a means of its destruction. ^[1]^[2] Such things as robots and space travel became commonplace in the fiction of the 19th century.

Concepts and illustrations of technology in science fiction have been a significant influence in the formation of popular culture images of future technology. ^[1]

Science fiction has often affected innovation and new technology ? for example many rocketry pioneers were inspired by science fiction. ^[4]
