I'll admit my breadth of experience isn't too huge on that front, but if it is still around today it's in a definite minority to the broader scope of 'science-fiction' that we have today.T.

And Star Wars is space fantasy, but that's a common misunderstanding.

After learning that "Jurassic Park" was science fiction, my attitude towards sf CHANGED in the link of eye. I started to develop an interest in science fiction, and in the year "The Lost World" was released, a classmate introduced me to a new franchise... "Star Wars".M.
