Science Fiction Novels in Turkish Literature After 1980

Science fiction, which is supposed to have started with the Greek writer Lukianos in the 2nd century, started to appear in Turkish literature for the first time in the 19th century with Jules Verne translations. In this period, although Ahmet Mithat Efendi's A Science Novel or American Doctors (1888) took its place in Turkish literature as the first copyrighted work, there was no interest in this genre for a very long time. Science fiction, which continued its existence with very few works published until the 1970s, became more visible in the 1980s with the influence of fanzines and science fiction magazines published after the 1970s. After 1980, the novels published in America and Europe were translated into Turkish and with the effect of science fiction films in cinema, it started to take its place in Turkish literature, especially after 2000.
In this book, the place and development of science fiction in Turkish literature has been tried to be revealed by examining the novels published in the genre of science fiction after 1980.
