Science Fiction

Previous to reading both Oryx and Crake and "All You Zombies" I had a preconceived notion that all science fiction books were based on some far off planet with humans attacking it or on earth with aliens coming to take over the earth or just intermix unnoticed into society. These two stories are far from that and I think it is important for them to be. Being their own type of science fiction makes them more successful in the selling realm.
"All You Zombies," does play with time travel but I like the fact that the main character has many different personalities and lives throughout the short story. It sort of is an exaggerated version of a person with multiple personalities in one body. I think that this makes the story science fiction because scientifically it would be impossible to be your own mother and your own father.
Oryx and Crake was a little more confusing b ut it was obviously science fiction. I think this book had an interesting way of being science fiction as well because at the beginning of science fiction his life could actually be considered believable...I mean I don't know if people actually live in bubbles anywhere but the use of animals like pigs for the health of humans is a topic that has come up a lot in recent medical areas.
