In the movie 'Inception', the characters are constantly in a world where the line between reality and dream is blurred. This can be seen as a form of gaslighting as they are made to question what is real. Another example is 'The Matrix', where humans are trapped in a false reality created by machines and are gaslighted into believing that false world is the real one.
Sure. In 'Avatar', the human scientists have a laboratory on Pandora. They are studying the Na'vi and the unique flora and fauna of the planet. Their laboratory is full of high - tech equipment for research, like machines to analyze the bioluminescence of the plants. Also, in 'Prometheus', the spaceship contains a laboratory where the scientists are exploring the origin of life. They conduct various experiments on alien specimens, which ultimately leads to a series of terrifying events.
Sure. In 'Interstellar', the black hole was depicted with a very complex and accurate geometric model. The distorted space around it was shown through geometrically - warped visuals.
In 'Battlestar Galactica', the survivors of the Cylon attack are constantly 'living without a net'. They are on the run in space, with limited supplies and a constantly looming threat from the Cylons. They have to make difficult decisions about their survival, reproduction, and the future of their civilization without the comforts and safety nets of their former society.
In science fiction, 'gaslighted' can be shown through false information campaigns. For example, in some dystopian sci - fi stories, the government or powerful corporations spread misinformation to control the masses. They make people doubt their own memories and perceptions, just like the classic gaslighting concept.
One example could be a science fiction story where the characters are constantly reading and being influenced by other fictional science fiction works within the story's universe.
Sure. One example could be writing prequel stories for a well - known science - fiction series. This would complement the original work by providing backstory and context that was not fully explored before.
Historical fiction could be an example of 'antonym science fiction' as it focuses on the past rather than the future which is a mainstay of science fiction.
Sure. 'The alien's tentacles writhed menacingly as it surveyed the puny humans.'
Documentaries are an example of the opposite of science fiction. They deal with real - life events, people, and phenomena. There's no made - up alien invasions or time travel like in science fiction.
One example could be if a science fiction novel in 2019 mentioned new space exploration initiatives that were happening at that time. For instance, the plans to send more probes to Mars in 2019 might have been incorporated into a story about future colonization of the red planet.
