These elements of the pulp tradition are easy to name. There is an overwhelmingly approving attitude toward technology, and general belief that intelligently applied technology will solve most social problems existing today. The stories generally portray the moral realm of humanity as absolutely divided between clearly identifiable good and evil. While generally socially progressive in outlook, pulp tradition Science Fiction assumes a conservative posture regarding domestic matters, with male and female roles and behaviors clearly defined along nineteenth-century lines. Politically, science fiction of the pulp tradition is, as I said earlier, progressive concerning social matters on the large scale, but also libertarian, strongly favoring individual over collective achievement. Storylines are generally violent.

What was the first science fiction book?

Some people have considered it thus, with the occult and morbid angles of presentation it is closer to the Occult fantasies of say the Twilight zone. Mary Shelley certainly catapult-launched the artificial or reanimated life idea into full prominence! By a related token, while done with fantasy magic- ( a Blue Angel, not the USN variety) in a very loose sense (Pinocchio) can be considered a juvenile Frankenstein story with some related concepts- artificial life form has no moral compass.. needs a coinscience implant ( jiminy Cricket) the whole idea of Artificial intelligent life is on the borderline of occult fantasy and science fiction. In Pinocchio, it is achieved by Magic, in Frankenstein , weird science. so it goes. Some lines shouldn't be crossed!
