    This document defines and compares two literary genres: science fiction and fantasy. It states that science fiction generally explores hypothetical scenarios and seeks to investigate moral, philosophical and technological possibilities through alternate or new realities, with settings outside of everyday life by time or place. Fantasy features characters and settings that could not exist in real life, often including magic, imaginary creatures, and other worlds. While similar types of genres, the document notes that science fiction and fantasy are not the same.
