Science fiction and fantasy have going hand-in-hand since long before the term «science fiction» was coined. Among the earliest examples is Gulliver of Mars, by Edwin L.

Here are four novels – and four very different takes on the mix of fantasy and...

Utopia. A community or society possessing highly desirable or nearly perfect qualities. It may be a dream, but it's a dream that has inspired writers for thousands of years.
