The hitchhiker’s guide to literary sci-fi: A trivia quiz!
By Kenna Hughes-Castleberry, published yesterday (Sept 9, 2025)
From dystopian futures to interstellar adventures, this quiz explores the classics that dared to imagine the impossible—and the authors who made it unforgettable.
Futuristic societies were a common motif in classic literary science fiction. (Image credit: Віщун via Wikimedia Commons)Science fiction didn’t begin with blockbuster films or sleek space operas — it was born in the pages of literature, where bold thinkers and master storytellers pushed the boundaries of imagination.
Long before Hollywood dreamed of warp drives and AI companions, authors like Mary Shelley, H.G. Wells, and Isaac Asimov were crafting worlds that questioned humanity’s place in the cosmos and the consequences of its own inventions. Their works laid the foundation for a genre that continues to evolve, provoke, and inspire.
This quiz invites you to journey through the golden age of literary sci-fi, where philosophical depth meets speculative wonder. You may like

“This is not a transfer — it’s a heist.”

A provision in President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” orders the Air and Space Museum to transfer ownership of Space Shuttle Discovery back to NASA for relocation near the space center in Houston. However, the Smithsonian Institution is not backing down on its stance that Congress has no legal authority to mandate Discovery’s removal, and they’re bringing the receipts.
It all started with the “Bring the Space Shuttle Home Act.” Introduced by Texas Senators John Cornyn (R) and Ted Cruz (R) in April, this act was an attempt to force the transfer of Space Shuttle Discovery from the Smithsonian‘s Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center just outside Washington D.C. to NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. The act stalled in committee and would have been dead in the water, but was rebranded and folded into the more than 1,100 pages of President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” in an attempt to force the issue.
While the language of the legislation was altered to comply with Senate reconciliation rules, such as refraining to name Discovery directly, the goal remained the same. The new wording instead refers to the transfer of a “space vehicle” — to be specified by the NASA Administrator within one month of the bill’s signing — to a NASA facility “involved in the administration of the Commercial Crew Program” by January 2027. The Smithsonian has rejected the attempt outright, saying it has the paperwork to prove the Institution’s ownership of Discovery and that it’s critical the space shuttle remains in its care.
