What kinds of sources do Science Fiction authors use?

Do Science Fiction authors use the internet, books, and yes, they research, but on what kinds of different things? I need to know more about Science Fiction authors because my homework is due tomorrow. Thanks everyone

Science Fiction authors mostly use existing general knowledge. They may get their information from sources like books, internet, etc. but most of them use current scenarios in science, society, culture or anything else and extrapolate it to create a science fiction setting.

For example, an author may take a hovercraft (existing) and create a society with hover scooters and hover cars which people use like regular vehicles today (extrapolation).

That is the essence of science fiction – extrapolation. It is not limited to scientific scenarios. There is a science fiction short story in a futuristic setting in which usage of water is rationed per individual in USA, which is an extrapolation of a social scenario.

The best introductory book on science fiction is “Science Fiction Hall of Fame Volume 1″ which is the collection of greatest science fiction short stories.

The most acclaimed science fiction author is Isaac Asimov. His short story Nightfall was voted the greatest short story ever in science fiction and features in the book I mentioned.

And remember, there is a difference between science fiction and Fantasy (e.g., Star Wars is Fantasy and not science fiction. Terminator 2 can be classified as Science Fiction).

Next $2.76 The weirdness of actor Nicolas Cage and the weirdness of science-fiction author Philip K. Dick seem like a natural fit. The premise, taken from a short story by Dick, is a good one: A mediocre Las Vegas magician named Chris Johnson (Cage) can see into the future–but only about two minutes at the most. Just enough to pull off his act and to make some money at the gambling tables, so long as he’s d…

Fahrenheit 451 $5.70 The classic science fiction novel by Ray Bradbury was a curious choice for one of the leading directors of the French New Wave, François Truffaut. But from the opening credits onward (spoken, not written on screen), Truffaut takes Bradbury’s fascinating premise and makes it his own.
