technofantasy
Sign in to saveAlso known as techno-fantasy
Technofantasy is a subgenre of fantasy which has some elements of science and technology. However, the genre does not rationalize their use through scientific or quasi-scientific terms; this distinguishes technofantasy from science fiction and science fantasy. The less realistic and the more "technobabble" any explanation is, the closer the work is to technofantasy. The concept of technofantasy has been described as "destroying the difference between magic and science".
