Science Fiction is something of an interesting genre. Some consider it to be about stories based in the future, while others believe it can be rooted in any time period, so long as science is involved.

I personally believe science fiction is about the human imagination, big ideas, and practicality. One thing is for certain; no matter the time period, science fiction stokes the fires of human ingenuity. It's no doubt that many of the devices we use today are rooted in the science fiction of the past.

As we head into the weekend, let's take a look at what's trending in the sci-fi genre. We've included the top six below, but you can find the full list here.
