Speculative fiction is a genre of literature that encompasses a wide range of imaginative and futuristic themes. It is often used as an umbrella term to describe works of science fiction, fantasy, horror, and even alternative history. This genre explores the possibilities and implications of various concepts, such as technological advancements, scientific discoveries, supernatural elements, and speculative societies. In speculative fiction, authors build fictional worlds that may deviate from our own reality, allowing them to explore what-ifs and provoke thoughts about the human condition. This genre is characterized by its ability to challenge our understanding of the world and push the boundaries of what we believe is possible. One well-known example of speculative fiction is "Dune" by Frank Herbert. Set in a distant future, "Dune" explores a feudal interstellar society and the political and ecological consequences of controlling the only known source of a valuable substance called "spice." Another remarkable work in this genre is "The Handmaid's Tale" by Margaret Atwood. This dystopian novel envisions a future where a totalitarian government has stripped women of their rights and reduced them to reproductive servitude. Through this unsettling tale, Atwood raises questions about power, gender roles, and the dangers of extremism. Fans of speculative fiction can also immerse themselves in the works of renowned authors like Isaac Asimov, Ursula K. Le Guin, Philip K. Dick, and Octavia Butler. These authors have made significant contributions to the genre and continue to inspire both readers and writers alike. To explore more speculative fiction novels, websites such as Goodreads, which offers recommendations based on user preferences, can be helpful. Additionally, platforms like Project Gutenberg provide access to a vast collection of classic speculative fiction books that are available for free. In conclusion, speculative fiction is an exciting and thought-provoking genre that captivates readers with its imaginative and futuristic storytelling. Whether you are interested in science fiction, fantasy, or dystopian societies, this multifaceted genre has something to offer everyone. So dive into the realms of speculative fiction and prepare to be transported to new and thrilling worlds.

Master once said that I am the reincarnation of a Yang Lingzi, destined to have an incompatible fate and destiny. The only reason I have survived until now is because of a pure Yang energy in my fortune. Someone like me is destined to live a turbulent and unsettled life. Looking back on my early experiences, it was indeed a mix of danger and hardship. At the age of six, I was haunted by resentful spirits; at seven, I narrowly escaped death from a flying corpse; at eight, I was targeted by a person who raised ghosts and came very close to becoming a little ghost myself... But without going through these ordeals, perhaps the deep connection between me and Master would never have blossomed. The reason I am writing this book is to remember and commemorate. Over time, I am afraid I will forget many things. Author's self-defined tags: witty metaphysics.
