    As far as _science fiction_ goes, the author covers a lot of bases in terms of real scientific and engineering principles. A lot of stories, such as Star Wars (which is great in its own right), make no attempt to adhere to known real scientific or physical principles of nature. Obvious problems are basically ignored.

    While also complete fiction, Weir at least makes an attempt to follow the (known) laws of biology, physics, and engineering as much as possible. _The Expanse_ is another show which portrays a somewhat realistic version of what space travel could look like if we had fusion drives in the next centuries.
