A contemporary science fiction story would most likely be set in the year.... 1900 or 2010 or 2070?

Question

anonymous · Answer

2010. Contemporary = current age.

anonymous · Answer

Nope -- 2070.

To be more precise, "contemporary" means that the book was written in the modern day; the "science fiction" genre means it was written about the future.  So, a contemporary sci-fi book was written in 2010 about the year 2070.

A very old sci-fi book might be written in the year 1900 about the year 2010.
