Torres-Roman, a teen librarian and science fiction fan, provides a guide for new and experienced science fiction readers and librarians that lists selected titles in the genre according to primary characteristics that might attract readers: story, character, setting, language, and mood. Books are listed in each category and subtopics within them, with publication information and plot description. For instance, readers can search for books with specific characters like clones, robots, cyborgs, aliens, or superheroes. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Science fiction opens new worlds, new possibilities, and new paradigms of thought to its readers and to society as a whole. It enables us to dream beyond our limitations and explore ways to make those dreams reality. No wonder its fans are legion and its outpouring of titles so copious.
