2010
In a decade dominated by social media, data breaches, and evolving notions of truth, science fiction in the 2010s turned increasingly introspective and existential. Themes of surveillance, privacy, and the malleability of reality loomed large, reflecting a society grappling with its own interconnectedness. This era’s narratives often revolved around fragmented identities and the erosion of the boundaries between the digital and the physical world. The genre, agile as ever, explored our complicated relationship with technology, serving as a cautionary chronicler of the cultural shifts shaking the very core of human interaction and self-perception.
