Abstract

The article aims to speculate on one of the most controversial terms in the sphere of fantastic literature – “hard” science fiction, providing these speculations with condensed and relevant excerpts from the works of specialists in the field. Nevertheless, the major part of the paper is an attempt to justify the high position of “hard” sci-fi among the other modes of science fiction, to test the strength of the proposed statements and draw conclusions on the basis of the discussion in absentia.
