Good question! Typically they get listed as fantasy because the magic isn't manmade. Most definitions of science fiction require a human to have created the unrealistic element - or an extraterrestrial lifeform who is roughly analogous to a person. It's not just that magic is present, but that it was derived from supernatural sources and not by human actions.
Fair enough as a term, but it was one of my minors in college. Authors use both.
Privacy nut?
Then I suggest you accept the common interpretation that "Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus", is at least the first modern work of sci-fi.
Ah, you've read Heinlein and Lovecraft.
Okay. So what's the first work of science fiction to you?
Let it Be? No, no. Let it Haiku.
These are all 2024. So let's go older.
Chicago? I dunno. I know what I'd suggest by NYC - a good pizza, a Rutt's ripper, and a proper Philly cheese steak - with da wiz. Out there, I guess chicken & waffles or maybe biscuits & gravy? It's the wrong time of year for green bean casserole.
Shared between us and them, knishes, kasha varnikes, and the Reuben sandwich isn't unknown. So find a delicatessen.
Otherwise, chili. Homemade.
Had me in the first half, ngl.
Uh-huh. The error was that they were caught doing it.
If it gets as difficult as it used to be on Debian and Ubuntu, I'm running back to Windows.
