:One thing puzzles me: from a literary agent who tried to place a manuscript of mine, I now learn that "science fiction" includes even a story that uses an out-of-the-ordinary machine as a plot device. Even a drama involving a spacecraft that [[NASA]] could build today now somehow qualifies as "science fiction." Do you agree?--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]]<sup>[[User talk:TerryH|Talk]]</sup> 10:29, 8 June 2007 (EDT)

Before you answer, let me give you two titles that some might put in this category: ''Oxygen'' and ''The Fifth Man'' by John Olson and Randall S. Ingermanson. The first title even won the Christy Award for the best futuristic faith-based novel in its year.--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]]<sup>[[User talk:TerryH|Talk]]</sup> 10:29, 8 June 2007 (EDT)
