The term &#8220;speculative fiction&#8221; is used to mean a fictional work that explores the possibilities of different worlds. It&#8217;s a means by which the sometimes blurred distinction between, for instance, science fiction and fantasy can be ignored in favour of a more overall genre classification.

Unfortunately, I don&#8217;t know exactly what&#8217;s missing. At some point in the past, I lost the content of my computer&#8217;s hard drive and had to restore from backup\u2014but the most recent backup I had of this particular database was a couple of years out of date. So, I own some books that are not included here. The only way I could tell what&#8217;s missing would be to take a physical inventory of everything on my shelves and compare it against this list. As you might guess, this is not something that&#8217;s entirely &#8220;quick,&#8221; so I haven&#8217;t yet got around to doing that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To see anything, you must enter a search term.
