Now, there are techno-thriller writers, very successful ones, whose work I cannot read. Some of it is down to style, and some to content. The work may not be plausible to me and grounds [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] my enjoyment, even when the storyline is all action and racing along. When techno-thrillers are set well into [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] the future, they become science fiction. [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]

It may also be a matter of the reader's perception, based on their individual levels of technology awareness. That is something that an author cannot address!
Do [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] you suspend belief when you read techno-thrillers, and [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] as an author, what would you expect of your readers? I did find some of Clancy's writing hard to credit when I read it first, but I still enjoyed it. When he writes with other authors in his later books, the stories, to me, become less credible. There's another discussion to be had there about a writer maybe running out of ideas (or making the most of his market), but let's leave that for another time.
So, [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] when I write - and I classify my work as science faction - I looked a little ahead into the future, projecting existing technologies. I don't want my readers to say - "that's incredible" (literally) and maybe have their enjoyment curtailed. To that extent I like to include a bibliography of research resources just in case readers are interested to look [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] further into my ideas.

This isn't about mainstream literary work such as that [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] of j d salinger or F Scott Fitzgerald - I'm discussing thrillers, specifically techno-thrillers. [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
I do love science fiction though, and as I get older, more of [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] it seems to become credible. Science fiction [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] Science Fiction Or Science Faction?
In my view, science fiction invents new technologies - for example 'Beam me up Scotty'. I contend that in between techno-thrillers and science fiction, there is a genre which we could call science-faction. This genre projects today's technology (or technology that is just being developed), into the near future. It is on the edge of belief. Of course, that depends on the reader too. This is where I would pitch some of Arthur C Clarke's work. With his prediction of earth-orbiting satellites, he was just ahead of the curve.
Now, you might think immediately of Tom Clancy, or maybe Craig Thomas, but Patricia Cornwell is also, to me, a techno-thriller writer. Reading Cornwell's work, I believe almost all the technical detail - [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] she was an ME and knows corpses and death thoroughly. What about Clancy or Thomas though? Their work is plausible, and even when Thomas invented a new Russian plane, in Firefox, it was still credible to me.
