Is /sci/ interested in books and shows about science fiction? Realistic ones, say, with actual science
>>7969349
yes.
Also, much of science fiction has basis in real science. Probably not the movies/books you've been subjected to. A lot of sci-fi books have realities that are theoretically possible, or totally possible just maybe not logical if said logic is to be applied to the world you and I live in.
Authors like Isaac Asimov and Arthur C Clarke.
Ray Bradbury is a good author as well but many of his stories or closer to fantasy than sci fi.

Thank you.
What about a book set in the very near future, with weaponry that's only just beyond our scientific grasp today?

The Martian by Andy Weir. The book, not movie. The book has more science, with more comedy, compared to the movie. Over all great book, I recommend it.
Daemon / Darknet by Daniel Suarez
If you're looking into hard sci-fi, you should definitely read anything by Greg Egan

fiction means it's not a historical account or a biography or a textbook. Realism is what is is. The two are far from being mutually exclusive.

Supporting anything by Clark, he was an actual scientist so that helps.

I study science at university. I find it fascinating.
I'm always keen on cutting edge technology, and I have a lot of ideas.
I've put a lot of what I learn in science into this, and it took almost a year to finish. You can read the first 5,000 words, a synopsis and a bit about me if it catches your fancy.
Albert Einstein might know not with what weapons WWIII may be fought with, but I gave it my best shot.
If you nominate this on kindle scout and it succeeds, you get a free copy of the ebook, as 72,000 words of ficticious world war action.

This is pretty much the exact opposite of what you're asking for but I was in the same boat as you and I'm loving it. Read Greek mythology. I really don't mean that in a meme sense either. It's cool to think of it as sci-fi.

Yeah. That's why listening to the alienguy from the documentals was entertaining too.
Unfortunately, it will always be just speculation.
