Hello dr Maslen,

Thanks for doing this AMA!

I've had long discussions with my brother about what the difference is between Fantasy and Science Fiction. For me Fantasy is the unexplainable, for him it's all about themes. Star Wars is Fantasy because it's about the hero's journey, family, honour; Fantasy themes. Star Trek is about exploration, civilization and technology; SciFi themes.

Could you tell me what your opninion is on this subject?
