The hitchhicker's guide to Science Fiction

Literary works, films, fine art and scientific discoveries changed radically the way we perceive, and the way we interact with, the world around us. Science fiction was, and always will be, one of the tools that human intellect uses to challenge the status quo of "science, society, politics, the future ... and the nature of reality itself" [Out of this World, Science fiction not as you know it Exhibition guide]
