Yeah, it's a kind of story, usually taking some form of technology and playing with it, and robots and aliens are sometimes involved. I'd say that it's usually something that could never really happen, but I'm not so sure about that now.

It's interesting to read though, because there's a lot about the state of humanity in those books.
