Not to mention the classics like Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, and Carl Sagan.
TV and movies never do justice to real science fiction because they beleive they have to dumb everything down for the audience. The only real science fiction films I can think of seeing in recent years are "Contact" and "The Imposter". I still haven't seen "Gattica".
Want a good Science Fiction show? Try "Oddysey 5" on Showtime. Very cool show.
And by the above definition, Star Trek is like 80% Sci-fi and 20% Science Fiction. Star Wars is a fantasy playing with sci-fi toys.
