Horror Freak News says "At its core, science fiction is an exploration of humanity’s hopes and fears regarding the future. It should be no surprise, then, that most sci-fi books/movies/TV shows can be divided into two main categories. First, there are those that look optimistically towards the future, celebrating a triumphant human spirit, like Star Trek. On the flipside, there’s the sci-fi that takes a pessimistic or fearful look towards mankind’s future, exacerbating a slew of deeply ingrained anxieties like War of the Worlds."
