The Hunger Games is another example. It's set in a post - apocalyptic world where the Capitol controls the districts harshly. The children are forced to participate in a deadly game for the Capitol's entertainment, which is a really bad situation within a science - fiction setting.
If it's more about the combination of an unusual concept with science fiction, then 'Snow Crash' might be relevant. It has a very unique take on a future society and how different elements interact. Also, 'Neuromancer' which is a classic in cyberpunk science fiction and combines a lot of different and sometimes dark ideas about technology and society.
I'm not entirely sure specifically as it could refer to many things. It might be a creative concept where 'the bad plus' (whatever that entity or concept is) is combined with science fiction elements. Maybe it's a story about how the negative aspects of something interact with the futuristic or other - worldly ideas in science fiction.
One interesting aspect could be the exploration of dystopian themes. In 'bad plus science fiction', it might show a future where things have gone terribly wrong, like a world with extreme environmental degradation or over - controlling governments. This can make us think about the consequences of our current actions.
Another good one is 'Transmetropolitan'. It's set in a far - future, science - fiction world filled with all kinds of strange creatures and technologies. The comic book art really brings this crazy world to life. It has a really engaging story about a journalist in this wild future.
One example could be some low - budget B - movies where the science fiction elements are just a hodgepodge of random ideas. For instance, 'Alien Apocalypse' which has a very simplistic plot about an alien invasion and the characters are not well - developed at all. Another one might be some of the early pulp science fiction novels that were written just to cash in on the popularity of the genre without much thought to quality. They often had cardboard - cutout characters and plots that were full of holes.
One famous high concept science fiction work is 'Ender's Game'. The idea of training children through complex simulations to fight an alien race is really high - concept. Also, 'Blade Runner' is quite notable. Its concept of replicants, artificial beings that are almost indistinguishable from humans, and the moral and ethical questions that come with it, is a very high - concept idea. And don't forget 'A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' which has the wild concept of the Earth being a kind of experiment and the galaxy full of all kinds of strange and wonderful things.
I'm not sure specifically which '80' you mean here. If it's about works from the 1980s, 'Blade Runner' is a classic. It has a very unique vision of a future Los Angeles and explores themes of artificial intelligence and what it means to be alive.
Edgar Allan Poe also dabbled in what could be considered early science fiction in the 1800s. His stories often had elements of the macabre combined with scientific or technological concepts. For example, 'The Unparalleled Adventure of One Hans Pfaall' which involved a journey to the moon in a rather unique and early take on space travel stories.
Sink holes in such science fiction might be a symbol of the Earth's instability in a future setting. In 2013 science fiction, perhaps global warming or over - mining had weakened the Earth's crust, leading to the formation of sink holes. This could be used to show the consequences of humanity's actions on the planet.
In 'The Picture of Dorian Gray', Dorian Gray is a man who, while remaining outwardly young and beautiful, has his soul deteriorate as he indulges in immoral acts. This is a classic'man plus novel' in the sense that it examines the inner and outer self of a man in a very unique way.
