An Overview of Egyptian Science Fiction

Abstract

Egyptian science fiction is a genre of literature that combines elements of science fiction, fantasy, and horror with the rich cultural and historical heritage of Egypt. It emerged in the mid-20th century and has since become a popular form of speculative fiction in Egypt and the Arab world.

The themes of Egyptian science fiction are diverse, ranging from exploration of space and time travel to alternate realities and the supernatural. The genre often features stories that challenge traditional Egyptian values and societal norms, with characters who are often rebels or outsiders struggling against oppressive political or social systems.
