    Spaceboy, Mr. Asimov, Mr. Bradbury, Ms. Le Guin, Mr. Vonnegut, Mr. Orwell, Mr. Wells, and so many others are laughing from their graves, not only by they fact that all were both critically and financially successful in the field of science fiction, but that a person who tags himself "Spaceboy" cannot spell losers. The answer is "No."

    Yes, Science Fiction is for everyone that is why it is often marketed as Thriller so people who don't know they like Science Fiction can enjoy it

    I suggest you read early Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov or even John W. Campbell. Much of their 'Science Fiction' is now a reality.

    There used to be this stereotype that only losers watched and liked fantasy and sci-fi, and that it was all silly stories about dragons and aliens, and plenty of hot, scantily clad princess to fulfill every geek's wet dreams, but that's luckily changing. I remember being snickered at when saying I read fantasy and sci-fi, but those days are more or less over.

    Us who have loved the genres all along, have always know they were so much more than that, and now the general public does as well.

    And as for the geeks and nerds... it's not so uncool to be a one anymore either. ;)

    NO

    IF it is for losers, then these Sci-Fi novels would be garbage and a piece crap at best.

    2001: a Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke

    The Hammer of God by Arthur C. Clarke

    The Gods Themselves by Isaac Asimov

    I, Robot by Isaac Asimov

    The Martian by Andy Weir

    Contact by Carl Sagan

    The authors would be so stupid and dumb for knowing what they know in order to write what they want to talk about in their sci-fi novels.

    But Science Fiction are NOT for losers at all, when it comes to realistic sci-fi. One might learn something out of it or what could happen in the future from the author's insights use as the plot and subplot. When one does not want to read books like, The Fabric of the Cosmos: Space, Time, and the Texture of Reality by Brian Greene, Death by Black Hole by Tyson, Neil deGrasse, Artificial Intelligence: Foundations of Computational Agents by David L. Poole and Alan K. Mackworth and How It Ends: From You to the Universe by Chris Impey. Where sometime too much of the terms are use and it might be hard to understand. Ones like Hunger Games, Divergent Series are ok and fun, but one might not get something out of it. since they are not consider realistic sci-fi.
