That last one might not be sci-fi for long

I didn’t know Wall-E was Japanese… well, his parts could be made in Japan. Domo arigato, Mr Roboto?

British sci-fi is more likely one of these: Dysfunctional but mysterious magical traveler and his witless sidekicks stumble through space and time having campy adventures. Dysfunctional band of renegades rush through space having campy adventures fighting a heartless evil empire with witty retorts. Dysfunctional group of misfits stumble through space skewering each other with witty retorts and having campy adventures while trying to find their way home. There’s definitely a pattern there.

swedish sci-fi for some reason: 200-page rhyming epics exploring the human need for self-expression even in the face of certain doom or et but in the woods. there is no in-between.

Judge Dredd, Threads, Lifeforce(Kind of) certainly supports the UK sci fi Idea. French scifi is a little more like EVERYONE ,good and Bad is turned on at all times. American sci fi is spot in,i can’t think of any counter evidence.

As someone who reads scifi like a chain smoker in a tobacco warehouse, this reads as somewhat antiquated. Niven and Heinlein and such back in the day, definitely in the American camp on how they wrote women and relationships, not seeing much of that lately though. Heavy lean on military scifi instead. Most of it narrated by RC Bray. Silo series was American. Though that felt like the smart man’s Fallout as a writing prompt. Chuck Wendig, American. Maybe we all just have apocalypse on the brain the last decade. Not sure the space romance thing is limited to one country’s culture. God save us all from young adult fiction of any kind, because this is the main plot. The real issue in scifi rn is the multiverse popping up like the vampire trend back in the Sookie Stackhouse days. Every other description of newly “printed” scifi I’ve read in my book searches this year: multiverse. Is everyone just out of ideas? I liked it better when it felt like the scifi market was trying to find the next expanse.

I need to watch more French Sci-Fi

Isn’t most American SciFi the direct counterpart to British SciFi? Space army fights bad aliens. Space radioactive now, but bad aliens dead 👍 Space Captain hero. Also, my friend needs some examples of French SciFi.

Old Russian scifi: welcome to the crapsack post-apocalypse. It’s strangely similar to the current day. So, the protagonists do what current day people do: grim philosophical brooding. Current Russian scifi: Awesome Russian soldier dude gets isekai’d to World War 2 and defeats the evil Western bastards. Help the author is trapped in Putin’s book factory send help
