Time travel is one of the most compelling and tantalising ideas in science fiction.

Can we travel through time, and if so, is it possible to change our fate?

What happens when the world goes to hell? Science fiction is filled with visions of dystopias and post-apocalyptic worlds, reflecting our fascination with The End. How will it come, will we even realise it's here, and could we survive? These questions are central to the dark-future theme of science fiction.

What makes us afraid - and why do we like it so much? Science fiction monsters allow us to explore the dark parts of ourselves, parts that we may not want to admit even exist. These science-based monsters reduce our fears - of the unknown, of transgressing, of others - to a visible, visceral presence.

Will we ever travel to the stars, the way science fiction has imagined? For many, science fiction and rocket ships are two sides of the same coin. Ever since HG Wells and Jules Verne, travelling to the stars and beyond has been a central theme - and promise - of science fiction. Writers such as Arthur C Clarke, Robert Heinlein, and Ray Bradbury ran with these ideas and laid the groundwork for modern franchises like Star Trek and Star Wars. What's out there waiting for us - and how will the discoveries of outer space change who we are?

Science fiction is filled with explorations of alien life. What can aliens teach us about what it means to be human?
