Physics and magic. Elves and aliens. Fantasy and sci-fi. What’s the difference? If you showed a BluRay player to a caveman, he’d call it magic. If you showed a spell-book MIT professor, he’d call it science fiction. While fantasy and sci-fi seem like opposite ends of the literary spectrum, the lines between them can get as fuzzy as the business end of a peach. Some authors have decided to reconcile the two genres’ seemingly insurmountable differences, birthing a hybrid called “sci-fi fantasy.” Or maybe “fantasy sci-fi”? Like magic and science themselves, the genre is defined depending on how you look at it. But no matter how you like at these novels, we can all agree they’re the 10 best sci-fi fantasy books of all time.
