Science fiction games imagine what the present and future would look like through the lens of science and technology, and how society would change as a result. Sci-fi games can paint either a hopeful or a dreary future. They can show us how we would travel among the stars and what we would find there. They can illustrate what our first contact with alien life forms would be like, showing a universe in which they can see us as friends or as deadly antagonists. Science fiction games can speculate about how society would change with the rise of robots and artificial intelligence, turning our world into a utopia or a dystopia. They can allow us to travel to the past and explore alternate timelines. They can bring us into the future, where humanity’s greatest hopes and fears have become real. Science fiction games turn all those ideas into something into which players can immerse themselves.
