Putting the Science in Fiction tackles complex scientific topics – from the human genome to the
theory of relativity to the science behind Jurassic Park and much more – and applies them to use
in speculative fiction.
Science and technology have starring roles in a wide range of genres – science fiction, fantasy,
thriller, mystery, and more. Unfortunately, many depictions of technical subjects in literature,
film, and television are pure fiction. A basic understanding of biology, physics, engineering, and
medicine will help you create more realistic stories that satisfy discerning readers.
This book brings together scientists, physicians, engineers, and other experts to help you:
• Understand the basic principles of science, technology, and medicine that are frequently
featured in fiction.
• Avoid common pitfalls and misconceptions to ensure technical accuracy.
• Write realistic and compelling scientific elements that will captivate readers.
• Brainstorm and develop new science- and technology-based story ideas.
Whether writing about mutant monsters, rogue viruses, giant spaceships, or even murders and
espionage, Putting the Science in Fiction will have something to help every writer craft better
fiction.
