Can you give some examples of goat science fiction works?
I'm not aware of many mainstream 'goat science fiction' works off the top of my head. However, it's possible that in some indie or self - published works, there could be stories that fit this bill. Maybe there's a short story in an online science fiction magazine where a goat - like alien is the main character.
As of now, there are no well - known big - name 'goat science fiction' works that I can name. But one can imagine a story where a mad scientist turns a goat into a cybernetic creature, half - machine and half - goat, to perform some sort of dangerous mission in a dystopian future. Another possible scenario could be a goat that has the ability to communicate telepathically with humans in a science fiction world full of strange psychic phenomena.
There might not be a large body of work specifically labeled as 'goat science fiction'. But consider this: a science fiction story set on a farm that has been transformed by some alien technology. The goats on the farm start to exhibit unusual behaviors like levitation or the ability to project holographic images. This could be a start of a unique 'goat science fiction' story. Or perhaps a story where a group of goats are actually aliens in disguise, sent to Earth to study human behavior and they end up causing all sorts of comical and mysterious situations.

So, it can be categorized as quasi science fiction.
